Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails
- File and shape your nails to your desired length.
- Buff the nail surface to ensure a smooth application.
- Clean nails with nail polish remover to remove any oils.
2
Apply base coat
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to protect your nails.
- Allow the base coat to dry completely.
3
Apply peachy-orange polish
- Apply the peachy-orange nail polish to all nails except the accent nail.
- Use two coats for full opacity, allowing each coat to dry between applications.
4
Create the ombre effect on the accent nail
- Apply the light nude or off-white polish to the tip of the accent nail.
- Using a makeup sponge, dab the peachy-orange polish above the nude polish to blend.
- Repeat dabbing until the desired ombre effect is achieved, then allow to dry.
5
Add polka dots
- Dip a dotting tool into the white polish.
- Gently press it onto the nails with peachy-orange polish to create evenly spaced dots.
- Repeat until you reach the desired number of dots and let dry.
6
Add glitter
- Apply a thin layer of gold glitter polish over the ombre effect.
- Use a brush to create a gradient effect if desired, focusing more glitter towards the tip.
- Allow to dry.
7
Finish with top coat
- Once all layers are dry, apply a top coat to seal the design.
- Ensure even coverage over all nails for a glossy finish.
Pro Tips
Always allow each layer of polish to dry completely before applying the next.
For easier application, use a lighter hand with the dotting tool to create smaller dots.
Experiment with different color combinations to personalize the design.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process.
