Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- Remove any old nail polish using a cotton pad and nail polish remover.
- Shape your nails using a nail file.
- Push back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher and apply cuticle remover to clean the nail bed.
- Buff the surface of your nails to create a smooth base.
2
Apply base coat.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat over all nails.
- Allow the base coat to dry completely before applying nail polish.
3
Paint the nails.
- Apply two coats of soft pink nail polish to the majority of the nail, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
- Apply white nail polish to create a French tip at the ends of each nail, using tape if needed for clean lines.
4
Add embellishments.
- Using a dotting tool, apply a small amount of top coat where you want to place the embellishments.
- Carefully place the silver charms and small pearls onto the nail using tweezers.
- Allow the manicure to dry completely.
5
Finish with top coat.
- Apply a final layer of top coat over the entire nail to seal the design and add shine.
- Ensure the top coat covers the embellishments well.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of nail polish is completely dry to avoid smudging the design.
If you're new to nail art, practice placing embellishments on a practice nail beforehand.
Always use a top coat to seal your design, which will help it last longer and look shinier.
For easier clean-up, consider applying cuticle oil around the nails before painting.
