Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prep the nails.
- File and shape the nails to your desired length.
- Buff the nails to create a smooth surface.
- Apply a base coat to protect the nails.
2
Apply the base color.
- Once the base coat is dry, apply two coats of soft blue nail polish.
- Allow each coat to dry thoroughly.
3
Create the stripes.
- Use a striping brush to apply white nail polish in vertical lines across the nails.
- Ensure the lines are clean and evenly spaced.
- Allow the white stripes to dry.
4
Add glitter.
- Apply silver glitter polish at the cuticle area and gently brush it downwards.
- Blend the glitter towards the middle of the nail for a gradient effect.
5
Apply star embellishments.
- Using a dotting tool, place small star-shaped embellishments on the nails as desired.
- Press them down gently to secure.
6
Finish with a top coat.
- Once everything is dry, apply a top coat to seal the design.
- This will give a glossy finish and enhance durability.
7
Clean up.
- Use nail polish remover and cotton pads to clean any excess polish around the nails.
- Ensure the edges are neat.
Pro Tips
Make sure to allow each layer to dry completely to prevent smudging.
Using a slow-drying top coat can help preserve the design longer.
If you're new to nail art, practice the stripes on a piece of paper first.
Don’t overcrowd the nails with embellishments; simplicity can enhance elegance.
