Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails for polish.
- File and shape your nails to your desired length.
- Buff the surface of each nail for better polish adhesion.
- Apply a base coat to protect your natural nails.
2
Apply the base color.
- Use red nail polish on all nails except the ring finger.
- On the ring finger, apply a glittery red polish.
- Allow the base colors to dry completely.
3
Create the nail art designs.
- Use a dotting tool and white polish to create snowflakes on the red nails.
- On the glittery red nail, use a nail art brush to create a gradient effect with opaque white polish at the tips.
- On the plaid design nail, use the nail art brush to create cross patterns and add details with white polish.

- Avoid flooding the cuticles with top coat.

Pro Tips
Ensure each layer dries fully to prevent smudging.
Practice simple designs on paper before applying to nails if you're a beginner.
Use a clean-up brush dipped in remover to tidy up any excess polish around the nails.
If you don't have rhinestones, consider using dots of glitter polish for a similar effect.
Regularly moisturize your cuticles to keep them healthy during nail art application.
