Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File and shape your nails to your desired length.
- Buff the surface of your nails for a smooth application.
- Apply a base coat to protect your nails.
2
Create the stripe pattern.
- Apply two coats of navy blue polish to your index and last finger.
- Use striping tape to create even lines and paint alternating stripes with white polish.
3
Apply the anchor design.
- On a beige base, use a thin brush to paint small anchors, then sprinkle gold glitter over the wet paint.
- Allow it to dry completely.
4
Design the sunset ombre.
- Use a nail sponge to dab on orange and yellow in a gradient pattern on your middle finger.
- Add turquoise at the bottom and blend the colors for an ombre effect.
5
Finish with a top coat.
- Once all designs have dried, apply a top coat to seal and give shine to your nails.
- Clean up any excess polish around the nails with a clean-up brush and remover.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Experiment with different patterns to make the design uniquely yours.
If you find it difficult to create the stripe pattern freehand, use striping tape for clean lines.
Don't rush through the application; take your time for a polished look.
