Paint the base color.
- Apply two coats of peachy-orange polish, allowing each coat to dry in between.
- Make sure to cover the entire nail for an even finish.
4
Add the glitter accent.
- Once the base color is dry, apply metallic gold glitter polish to one nail as an accent.
- Use a brush to distribute the glitter evenly on the nail.

Pro Tips
Be patient and allow each layer of polish to dry fully before moving on to the next step.
Practice applying embellishments on a practice nail if you're unsure about placement.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process.
If you're new to nail art, start with fewer embellishments for a simpler look.
