Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails.
- File and shape your nails to the desired length.
- Buff the nail surface for a smooth finish.
- Apply a base coat to protect your nails.
2
Apply the black base color.
- Once the base coat is dry, apply one or two coats of matte black nail polish.
- Ensure the polish is even and fully opaque.
- Allow the polish to dry completely.
3
Create the nail art design.
- Using a dotting tool or small brush, apply a thin line of gold polish to form the branch or leaf patterns on accent nails.
- Add small dots of gold polish to mimic embellishments along the design.
- Carefully place nail art gems or rhinestones along the gold lines using tweezers.
4
Finish with a top coat.
- Once the nail art is dry, apply a clear top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Make sure not to smudge the nail art.
- Allow the top coat to dry completely, applying additional layers if needed for a glossy finish.
5
Clean up and maintain the nails.
- Use nail polish remover and a cleanup brush to tidy up any excess polish around the nail edges.
- Apply cuticle oil to keep the cuticles hydrated.
- Store the materials for future use.
Pro Tips
Patience is key; allow each layer to dry before proceeding to avoid smearing.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process.
Practice the design on a nail wheel before attempting on your natural nails for best results.
Experiment with different placements for embellishments to personalize the design.
