Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File and shape your nails as desired.
- Buff the surface to ensure smooth application.
- Apply a base coat to protect your nails.
2
Create the gradient base.
- Apply a layer of nude polish and let it dry.
- Using a sponge, apply soft blue polish to the tips, blending down toward the nude base.
- Repeat until you achieve a smooth gradient.
3
Add gold foil accents.
- Apply a thin layer of gold polish at the tips of your nails.
- While wet, gently press gold foil into the polish to secure it.
- Let it dry completely before moving on.
4
Paint white dots and patterns.
- Use a dotting tool to create small white dots randomly on the blue area.
- With a detailing brush, add floral-like patterns in gold near the cuticles or around the dots.
- Adjust placement until you are satisfied with the design.
5
Finish with top coat.
- Apply a top coat over the entire nail to seal the design.
- Ensure the top coat covers the edges to prevent chipping.
- Let your nails dry completely before using your hands.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Experiment with the amount of pressure when applying the gold foil for varied texture.
If you don't have gold foil, gold glitter polish can serve as an alternative.
Use a clean detailing brush for more precise floral patterns to enhance the design.
Practice the gradient technique on a practice wheel or piece of paper before attempting on your nails.
