Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File and shape your nails to the desired length.
- Buff the surface of your nails for smoothness.
- Apply a base coat to protect your natural nails.
2
Apply the base color.
- Choose the matte green nail polish and apply a thin layer on all nails.
- Allow the first coat to dry, then apply a second coat for opacity.
3
Create the nail art.
- On the accent nail, apply a layer of glitter green polish and let it dry.
- Using the fine tip brush, draw the gold line art designs on the matte nails.
- For the leaf design, create elongated curves to mimic leaves with fine lines.
4
Add embellishments.
- While the art is still wet, carefully place small pearls or other embellishments using tweezers.
- Press lightly to ensure they adhere properly.
5
Finish the design.
- Once everything is dry, apply a top coat over the nails to protect the design.
- Make sure to seal the edges to prevent chipping.
Pro Tips
Be patient and allow each layer of polish to dry thoroughly before applying the next.
For smoother designs, practice drawing on a piece of paper before applying on nails.
If using nail tape, ensure it is removed while the polish is still wet for crisp lines.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to save time.
