Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails for the design.
- File and shape your nails to the desired length.
- Gently push back cuticles and apply cuticle remover.
- Buff the nail surface lightly to create a smooth base.
2
Apply the base coat.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to protect the nails.
- Let the base coat dry completely before proceeding.
3
Create the ombre effect.
- Using a makeup sponge, apply light pink polish to the top half of the sponge.
- Apply sky blue polish to the bottom half of the sponge.
- Dab the sponge onto your nails, moving from the cuticle to the tip, until you achieve the desired gradient.
4
Add the accent nail design.
- Paint one nail with silver polish as a base for the accent.
- Once dry, use the dotting tool to apply small dots of the pink and blue polish in clusters.
- Attach the 3D embellishments (flowers, pearls, beads) using a clear top coat or nail glue.
5
Apply the top coat.
- Once all designs are dry, apply a layer of top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Ensure the top coat covers the embellishments for extra durability.
6
Clean up any excess polish.
- Use a brush dipped in nail polish remover to clean around the cuticles and edges.
- Allow the design to dry completely before any additional handling.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer dries completely to prevent smudging during the application.
Experiment with different color combinations for a unique twist on the ombre.
Use a light touch when applying embellishments to avoid clumping.
