1
Prepare the nails
- Shape the nails using a file.
- Buff the surface of the nails gently.
- Apply cuticle oil to soften the cuticles and push them back.
- Apply a base coat to protect the nails.
2
Apply the base color
- Paint all nails with dark brown matte polish.
- Allow the first coat to dry, and apply a second coat if necessary for opacity.
3
Create designs with gold foil
- Select the nails where you want to apply the gold foil.
- Apply transfer foil glue to specific areas of the nails.
- Once tacky, press the gold foil onto the glued areas and gently rub to adhere.
4
Add embellishments
- Use a dotting tool to add small dots of light grey or nude polish to simulate floral patterns.

Finish the design
- Once all embellishments are placed, apply a clear top coat over the entire nail for shine and protection.
- Clean any excess polish around the cuticles with a nail brush and remover.
- Allow the nails to dry completely.
Pro Tips
Make sure to let each layer dry completely to avoid smudging.
Use a good quality top coat to enhance the design's longevity.
Practice the foil application on a nail wheel or practice nails first if you are new to nail art.
Don't apply too much embellishment to keep the look elegant rather than overcrowded.
