Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails.
- Shape the nails with a file to your desired length and style.
- Buff the surface of the nails lightly to create a smooth base.
- Push back cuticles gently to ensure a clean application.
2
Apply the base coat.
- Apply a base coat to all nails to protect them and help polish adhere.
- Let the base coat dry completely before moving on.
3
Apply the red nail polish.
- Apply two coats of red nail polish, allowing each coat to dry completely.
- Make sure the color is even and opaque.

Stamp the floral patterns.

- Apply black polish to the design plate and scrape off excess.

Create the glitter gradient.
- Using a makeup sponge, dab red glitter polish onto the sponge.
- Lightly press the sponge against the tip of the nail, gradually moving downwards for a gradient effect.
- Apply until you achieve the desired opacity.

Add rhinestones.

- Carefully place the rhinestones onto the wet polish.
- Allow to dry properly.

Finish with the top coat.
