Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File and buff your nails to your desired shape.
- Apply a base coat to protect your natural nails.
2
Create the watercolor effect.
- Using a makeup sponge, apply the light pink, sky blue, and lavender polishes in random spots.
- Dab the sponge onto your nails to blend the colors for a soft gradient look.
3
Apply the gold foil.
- Use tweezers to pick up pieces of gold foil.
- Gently place the foil onto the nails, pressing it lightly to adhere.
4
Seal the design.
- Once the foil is set, apply a top coat to lock in the design and add shine.
- Allow the nails to dry completely.
5
Clean up.
- Use a clean-up brush dipped in nail polish remover to tidy up any excess polish around the nails.
- Finish with cuticle oil to nourish your cuticles.
Pro Tips
For a more blended effect, dab the sponge lightly instead of applying heavy pressure.
If you don't have gold foil, you can use gold glitter as an alternative accent.
Make sure to let each layer dry fully before applying the next to avoid smudging.
