Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails
- Remove any previous nail polish and trim nails to desired length.
- Buff the nails gently to smooth the surface.
- Apply a base coat to protect the natural nails.
2
Create the ombre effect
- Apply the soft peach polish to the bottom half of the nail.
- Dab the white polish onto a makeup sponge and lightly press it onto the tip of the nail to blend it with the peach.
- Repeat the sponge technique until you reach the desired ombre gradient.

Add gold leaf accents
- Apply clear nail polish to the accent area where you want the gold leaf.
- Use tweezers to carefully place pieces of gold leaf onto the wet polish.
- Press down gently to ensure the gold leaf adheres well.

- Create small dots on the nail, forming flower shapes.
- Add tiny gold accents around the flowers using a fine nail art brush.

Finish the design
- Apply a top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Use a cleanup brush dipped in acetone to remove any polish from the skin around the nails.
- Allow nails to dry completely before engaging in any daily activities.
Pro Tips
Ensure your base coat is dry before moving on to the ombre effect to prevent smudging.
For a smoother ombre effect, consider using multiple sponging layers to blend the colors gradually.
When applying gold leaf, a small amount goes a long way; it's best to start with less and add more if needed.
Practice the flower designs on a piece of paper before applying them to your nails for a better grip on size and layout.
Don't rush the drying process; a proper top coat will protect your design and enhance shine.
