Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File your nails to the desired shape and buff the surface lightly.
- Push back the cuticles gently using a cuticle pusher.
- Apply a base coat to protect your nails.
2
Apply the base colors.
- Paint one nail red, one white, and one blue as a base, alternating colors.
- Allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next.
3
Create star patterns.
- Use the star-shaped stencils or stickers to mark the places for stars on each nail.
- Apply contrasting colors over the stencils and remove them gently to reveal star shapes.
4
Add stripes and dots.
- Using a thin nail art brush, paint stripes on one of the nails.
- Use a dotting tool to add random dots around the stars for added texture.
5
Finish with a top coat.
- Once all designs are dry, seal the look with a glossy top coat.
- Ensure all nails are completely dry to avoid smudging.
