Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails
- Remove any old polish and shape your nails with a nail file.
- Gently buff the surface of each nail to create a smooth base.
- Apply cuticle remover and push back cuticles, then wash your hands.
2
Apply base coat
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to each nail to protect them.
- Let the base coat dry completely before moving on.
3
Create the gradient effect
- Use a sponge to apply light pink polish at the base of the nails.
- Add lavender polish to the sponge and dab it on the tips of the nails to create a gradient effect.
- Repeat until you achieve your desired gradient effect, letting each layer dry.
4
Add glitter and patterns
- Apply glitter polish on select nails for sparkle, focusing on the center and tips.
- Use a detailing brush to create floral patterns with lavender polish.
- Apply turquoise polish in small dots or shapes for added detail.
5
Apply gemstones
- Use a dotting tool to add small dots of clear polish where you want to place gemstones.
- Carefully place the gemstones onto the dots of polish and press gently to secure.
- Make sure to distribute the colors evenly across the nails.
6
Finish with a top coat
- Once everything is dry, apply a top coat to seal in the design and add shine.
- Allow the top coat to dry completely to avoid smudging.
Pro Tips
Work in thin layers to ensure even drying and to avoid smudges.
Use a clean brush to remove excess polish from the skin around your nails before the top coat.
Experiment with different placements of gemstones for a unique look.
If you make a mistake, use nail polish remover on a small brush for easy clean-up.
