2
Apply a base coat.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to all nails.
- Allow it to dry completely.
3
Paint the base colors.
- Apply dark blue polish to one nail and let it dry.
- Apply light blue polish to another nail and let it dry.
- Paint white polish on one nail, leaving room for stripes.
4
Create striped patterns.
- Use striping tape to create even lines on the white nail.

Pro Tips
Ensure each layer is dry before applying the next to prevent smudging.
Use striping tape for precision in your stripes, applying it only on fully dried polish.
If you're not confident with freehand, use a nail art stamp for the Menorah design instead.
Practice creating glitter gradients on a practice wheel before applying on nails.
Keep your tools clean to ensure a sharp, professional-looking finish.
