Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- Remove any old polish and file your nails to your desired shape.
- Buff the surface of your nails to smooth out any imperfections.
- Apply a base coat to protect the nails and allow it to dry.
2
Create the gradient ombre effect.
- Using a makeup sponge, apply dark blue polish at one end and light blue polish at the other.
- Dab the sponge onto the nail, moving it up and down to blend the colors.
- Repeat this step until the gradient appears smooth, then let it dry.
3
Add floral designs.
- Using a detailing brush and white polish, carefully paint small flower shapes on designated nails.
- Add small dots around the floral design using a dotting tool for extra flair.
- Once satisfied with the design, let it dry completely.

Apply embellishments.
- Place small pearls or nail art gems in the center of each flower or around the nail design.
- Use clear nail polish or nail glue to secure the gems in place.

Finish with a top coat.
- Once everything is dry, apply a top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Make sure to cover the edges to prevent chipping.
6
Clean up.
- Use nail polish remover and cotton pads to clean around the nail edges if necessary.

Pro Tips
Work in thin layers for the best blending results in the ombre effect.
If you're new to nail art, practice floral designs on a piece of paper before applying them to your nails.
Use a small amount of top coat to avoid disturbing the nail art underneath.
