Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails for polish application.
- Use a nail file to shape each nail to your desired length and shape.
- Buff the surface of the nails to create a smooth base.
- Push back cuticles gently using a cuticle pusher.
2
Apply a base coat.
- Apply a layer of base coat to protect the natural nails.
- Allow the base coat to dry completely.
3
Paint the base colors.
- Apply the pale pink polish to the first two nails.
- Use the white polish for the next two nails, creating a clean, even layer.
- Apply turquoise polish to the penultimate nail.
- Use the gold polish on the last nail, ensuring full coverage.
4
Create ombre effects.
- For a subtle ombre, use the pink and white polishes together on the assigned nails, lightly blending them.
- For the turquoise and white nails, use the dotting tool to create a gradient by adding dots of turquoise at the base and blending with the white.
5
Add gems and embellishments.
- Using tweezers, place rhinestones and gems onto the gold nail in an eye-catching design.
- Add smaller gems to some of the other nails for a cohesive look.
- Use a clear polish to seal the gems and prevent them from falling off.
6
Finish with a top coat.
- Apply a top coat over all nails to give a glossy finish and protect the design.
- Ensure the top coat covers the gems for added durability.
7
Clean up any mistakes.
- Dip a small brush in nail polish remover to carefully clean around the cuticles and edges.
- Make sure to remove any excess polish from the skin.
