Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File and shape your nails to your desired length.
- Buff the surface of your nails for a smooth finish.
- Apply cuticle oil to nourish the cuticles.
2
Apply base coat and polish.
- Apply a base coat to protect your natural nails.
- Once dry, apply 1-2 coats of light lavender nail polish, allowing each coat to dry.
3
Create the white tips.
- Once the lavender polish is dry, use tape or a nail guide to create clean lines for the tips.
- Apply white nail polish to the tips, then remove the tape while the polish is still wet.
4
Add diagonal stripes.
- With a striping brush, carefully paint diagonal lines with the darker lavender polish.
- Allow the stripes to dry completely.
5
Apply rhinestones.
- Use a dotting tool or tweezers to apply small dots of topcoat near the cuticle area.
- Place rhinestones onto the topcoat while it's wet for adherence.
6
Finish with a top coat.
- Apply a layer of top coat over the entire nail to seal the design and add shine.
- Allow everything to dry completely.
