Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails.
- File and shape the nails to desired length and shape.
- Buff the surface of the nails to create a smooth canvas.
- Apply a base coat to protect the natural nails.
2
Apply the base color.
- Paint all nails with two coats of pastel blue polish, allowing each coat to dry.
- Create an ombre effect by blending a small amount of light pink or lavender polish at the tips of some nails.
3
Add floral and gold embellishments.
- Use a detail brush to paint delicate flowers with gold polish on selected nails.
- Apply small beads or sequins around the flowers for added texture and sparkle.
4
Add lace patterns.
- Use stickers or stencils to create a lace design on one nail with white polish.
- Carefully remove the stencil to reveal the pattern.
5
Finish with top coat.
- Once all elements are dry, apply a top coat to seal the design and enhance shine.
- Clean up any excess polish around the nails with a brush dipped in nail polish remover.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before adding the next to prevent smudging.
Practice the floral design on a nail wheel if you're unsure of your technique.
Use a quick-dry top coat to expedite the drying process.
Be gentle when using stickers to avoid pulling up your base layer.
