Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Perform nail prep.
- File your nails to your desired shape.
- Gently push back cuticles with the cuticle pusher.
- Apply a base coat to protect the nail surface.
2
Create the gradient effect on nails.
- Choose light blue and navy blue polish.
- Using a makeup sponge, dab the light blue polish at the tip of the sponge and the navy at the bottom.
- Press the sponge onto each nail to create a blended gradient, repeating until you achieve the desired intensity.
3
Add floral designs.
- With a nail art brush, use pastel pink polish to create small flower shapes on selected nails.
- Add details with a dotting tool using different colors for the flower centers.
- Let the design dry slightly.
4
Apply glitter accents.
- On the remaining nails, use the silver glitter polish at the base and gradient upwards for a sparkling effect.
- Ensure even distribution of glitter for a stunning look.
5
Finish with top coat.
- Once all designs are dry, apply a top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Carefully clean any excess polish around the nails with a brush dipped in nail polish remover.
Pro Tips
Practice the gradient technique on a practice nail or paper before applying it to your nails.
Work in thin layers to avoid bubbling and ensure even coverage.
Use a clean brush each time to prevent color mixing on the detail work.
Allow each layer to dry completely before moving on to the next step to avoid smudges.
