Prepare the Nails

- Buff the surface of your nails to create a smooth base.
- Cleanse your nails with a lint-free wipe and nail cleanser to remove any oils or debris.
2
Apply Base Color

- Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second coat for full coverage.
- Let the second coat dry thoroughly.
3
Create Glitter Fade (select nails)
- Apply a thin layer of fine glitter nail polish to the tips of select nails.
- Use a small sponge to gently dab the glitter upwards, creating a faded effect.
- Allow the glitter to dry completely.

Paint Floral Designs
- Use a fine detail brush to paint floral designs on the nails.
- Start with the larger flowers using pink and purple nail polish.
- Add green leaves and stems using a thin brush and green nail polish.
- Incorporate white details and small dots using a dotting tool and white nail polish.
- Use black nail polish to outline the flowers and leaves.

- Apply a small dot of clear nail glue or top coat where you want to place the embellishments.
- Use tweezers to carefully pick up and place the 3D white embellishments onto the nail.

Clean Up Edges

Pro Tips
Practice the floral designs on a piece of paper before applying them to your nails.
Use thin coats of nail polish to prevent smudging and allow for better control when painting details.
Clean your brushes frequently during the painting process to prevent color mixing and maintain precision.
Allow each layer of polish to dry completely before applying the next to avoid smearing.
If you are not comfortable with freehand painting, consider using nail art stickers or stencils for the floral designs.
Apply cuticle oil daily to keep your cuticles hydrated and healthy.
