Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails
- Start by filing the nails to your desired shape.
- Push back cuticles gently using a cuticle pusher.
- Buff the nail surface lightly for a smooth application.
2
Apply base coat
- Apply a thin layer of base coat on each nail.
- Allow it to dry completely before moving to the next step.
3
Apply the base color
- Paint one or two coats of white nail polish on all nails, ensuring an even application.
- Let the base color dry fully.
4
Create the swirl effect
- Pick up a small amount of light blue nail polish on a makeup sponge.
- Dab the sponge onto the nails lightly to create a gradient effect.
- Repeat this step with pink nail polish, blending it into the blue.
5
Add holographic finish
- Apply a thin layer of holographic top coat over the design to enhance the shimmer.
- Ensure even coverage and let it dry.
6
Finalize the look
- Apply a top coat to seal in the design and add extra shine.
- Clean up any excess polish around the nails with nail polish remover and cotton pads.
Pro Tips
Use a light touch when applying the polish with the sponge to avoid overpowering the base color.
Experiment with the sponge technique to find the best gradient look that suits your style.
Allow each layer of polish to dry completely before applying the next to avoid smudging.
If you don't have a holographic top coat, a regular glossy top coat can also work well for shine.
