Apply the base colors.
- Paint most of your nails with mint green polish and let them dry.
- Create an ombre effect on one or two nails by starting with the nude polish at the tip and blending into the mint green.

Add the gold accents.

Pro Tips
Ensure your nails are clean and dry before starting for the best adhesion.

Use a fast-drying top coat to quickly seal your design and avoid smudging.
Consider using nail glue for gems for a longer-lasting hold.
