Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails

- Buff the surface of the nail to create a smooth base.
- Apply a base coat and allow it to dry completely.
2
Apply the base color
- Paint the nails with deep blue polish as the base color.
- Allow the first layer to dry completely before applying a second coat for depth.
3
Create the gradient effect
- Using a makeup sponge, apply silver glitter polish to the tip of the sponge.
- Dab the sponge onto the tips of the nails to create a gradient effect.
- Repeat until you achieve the desired gradient intensity, then allow to dry.

Add embellishments
- Using a dotting tool or thin brush, apply a small amount of top coat where you want to place the square-shaped glitter.
- Use tweezers to carefully place the glitter onto the wet top coat.
- Press down gently to secure the glitter in place.

Finish the design

Pro Tips
Make sure each layer of polish is completely dry before adding the next to avoid smudging.
For more control, pick up individual pieces of glitter with a dampened dotting tool.
Practice the gradient technique on a practice nail or on paper first to perfect your method.
Use a good quality top coat to enhance longevity and shine.
