Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prep your nails
- File and shape your nails to the desired almond shape.
- Buff the surface of each nail to create a smooth base.
- Apply cuticle oil to the edges and push back cuticles gently.
2
Apply the base coat
- Apply a base coat to each nail to protect them and ensure adhesion.
- Allow the base coat to dry completely.
3
Paint the base color
- Apply two coats of peach polish to each nail, allowing each coat to dry.
- Ensure even coverage and smooth application.
4
Create leaf designs
- Using a detailing brush, dip into the gold polish and create leaf shapes on selected nails.
- Experiment with different leaf designs for a natural look.

Add embellishments

- Strategically place the dots to complement the gold leaves.

- Ensure the top coat goes over all embellishments for longevity.

Cleanup

Pro Tips
Always allow each layer of polish to dry completely to prevent smudging.
Experiment with different colors for the base and accents to match your style.
Use a small amount of top coat to avoid spreading your nail art.
Practice your leaf designs on a piece of paper before applying them to your nails.
