Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- Start by filing your nails to the desired shape.
- Gently push back cuticles using a cuticle pusher.
- Apply a base coat to protect your nails and ensure the polish adheres well.
2
Apply the base color.
- Once the base coat is dry, apply two coats of matte black nail polish to all nails, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly.
3
Create floral designs.
- Using the light pink nail polish, apply small flower shapes on one or two accent nails using a nail art brush.
- Utilize a dotting tool to create additional details in the flower centers for more dimension.
4
Add star patterns.
- On another nail, use a small brush or the stamper to add stars in light pink over the matte black background.
- Ensure the stars are evenly spaced and slightly varied in size for a more natural look.
5
Finish with a top coat.
- Once the designs are complete and dry, apply a matte top coat over all nails to seal in the design and maintain the matte finish.
- Allow the top coat to dry completely.
6
Clean up any mistakes.
- Use a small brush dipped in nail polish remover to clean up any excess polish around the cuticles.
- Finish by applying a nourishing cuticle oil to keep the nails healthy.
Pro Tips
Make sure to allow each layer of polish to dry completely to avoid smudging your designs.
If you're new to nail art, practice the floral designs on paper first to gain confidence.
Consider using nail tape for clean lines while creating patterns.
