Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare Your Nails
File and shape your nails to your desired shape.
Gently push back your cuticles and buff the nail surface for a smooth base.
Apply a thin layer of base coat to protect your natural nails and allow it to dry completely.
2
Create the Gradient Base
Apply white nail polish to the lower portion of your nail.
Using a makeup sponge, apply shimmering purple nail polish, blending it upwards to cover the middle section of the nail.
On the same sponge or a new one, apply black nail polish to the tip of the nail, blending it slightly with the purple to create a seamless transition. You may need multiple layers for the desired opacity.
3
Add Rose Gold Glitter
Apply a thin layer of rose gold glitter polish over the gradient, concentrating it more towards the purple and black areas to enhance the sparkle.
Allow the glitter polish to dry thoroughly.
4
Create the Dot Details
Using a dotting tool or toothpick, create various sizes of white dots randomly across the nail surface.
Start with larger dots near the white base and gradually decrease the size as you move towards the black tip for a more natural look.
Let the dots dry completely to avoid smudging.
5
Seal and Finish
Apply a generous layer of clear top coat to seal in the design and add shine.
Allow the top coat to dry completely.
Clean up any excess polish around the edges of your nails using a small brush or cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover.
Pro Tips
For a smoother gradient, apply thin layers of each color and blend well.
Use a clean sponge for each color to prevent mixing and maintain color vibrancy.
Practice dotting on a piece of paper before applying to your nails to get the right size and distribution.
Allow each layer of polish to dry completely before applying the next to avoid smudging and ensure a long-lasting design.
Consider using quick-drying top coat to speed up the drying process and prevent accidental smudges.
If you don't have rose gold glitter polish, you can mix fine rose gold glitter with a clear top coat.
