Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails.
- File and shape the nails to your desired length.
- Apply cuticle oil to soften the cuticles and push them back.

2
Paint the base color.
- Apply two coats of lavender nail polish, allowing each coat to dry.
- Leave the ring finger for the accent design.
3
Create the accent nail design.
- On the accent nail, apply a layer of glitter nail polish.
- Use a detailing brush to paint white stripes on the lavender nail.
- Stamp floral designs onto other nails using the stamping plate.
4
Add embellishments.
- Place gold studs and gems strategically on the accent nail and glittered nail.
- Be sure to press them down firmly to secure.

Finish with a top coat.
- Once all designs and embellishments are dry, apply a top coat to seal the design.
- Cap the tips of the nails to prevent chipping.

Clean up.
- Use a little nail polish remover on a cotton swab to clean any excess polish around the cuticles.
- Let the nails dry completely before using your hands.
Pro Tips
Let each layer of polish dry completely to prevent smudging.
Practice your nail art designs on a practice wheel before applying them to your nails.
Don’t overload your brush with polish when applying the stripes for a clean look.
Use a quick-dry top coat if you're short on time for the final seal.
