Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails
- Remove any old polish.
- File and shape your nails as desired.
- Apply a base coat for protection.
2
Create the teal base
- Apply two coats of deep teal polish, allowing each coat to dry completely.
- If using a marbling technique, use a sponge to dab a lighter teal or turquoise over the base to create depth.
3
Add white lines
- Using a fine nail art brush or striping tape, create vertical lines on selected nails with white polish.
- Ensure the lines are even and spaced as desired.
4
Apply gold foil lines
- With a fine brush, paint random vertical strokes with gold metallic polish or carefully apply gold foil in a stripe pattern.
- Allow the gold application to dry.
5
Finish with top coat
- Once all polish is dry, apply a top coat to seal in the design and add shine.
- Cleanup any excess polish on the skin with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover.
Pro Tips
Make sure to use thin coats of polish to reduce drying time.
Practice the line work on a piece of paper before applying to your nails.
To avoid smudging, allow each layer of polish to dry completely before adding the next.
Consider using a matte top coat for a different finish on the design.
