Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prep your nails.
File your nails to the desired shape.
Gently push back your cuticles.
Apply a base coat to protect your nails.

Paint the base colors.
Apply two coats of mint green polish on the thumb, index, and ring fingers and allow to dry.
Apply two coats of white polish on the middle and pinky fingers and let them dry completely.
3
Create the accent nail design.
Using a thin nail art brush, paint red stripes on the white section of the thumb nail.
On the upper corner, apply blue polish and create white stars using a dotting tool or small brush.
4
Add star and sparkle designs.
Use star-shaped stickers or stencils on the white and mint green nails.
Fill in the stars with red or white polish as desired, using a thin brush for precision.
Add small dots and starburst patterns around the stars for a complete look.
5
Finish the design.
Seal your design with a top coat to ensure longevity.
Clean up any excess polish around the nails with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before applying the next to prevent smudging.
Use a steady hand or support your wrist while applying detailed designs for greater accuracy.
If star stickers are unavailable, consider using a thin brush to paint stars directly onto the nails.
