Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails for the design.
- Use a nail file to shape your nails as desired.
- Gently push back cuticles using a cuticle pusher.
- Apply a base coat to protect your natural nails.
2
Apply the base colors.
- Paint the entire nail with the light blue polish and let it dry completely.
- Using a makeup sponge, apply the dark blue polish at the tip of the nail to create a gradient effect and blend with the light blue.
3
Create the wave effect.
- Dip the nail art brush into the white polish and lightly drag it across the nail to create swirls.
- For a more realistic wave effect, alternate between the light blue, dark blue, and white polish.
4
Add shimmer and details.
- Using the metallic silver polish, add thin lines or accents along the edges of the swirls for added depth.
- Ensure the lines are delicate to maintain the light, airy feel of the design.
5
Finish with top coat.
- Once all colors are dry, apply a top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Be careful to avoid dragging the colors while applying the top coat.
6
Clean up any excess polish.
- Dampen a cotton pad or swab with nail polish remover.
- Gently clean any polish from around the nails for a neat finish.
Pro Tips
Allow each layer of polish to dry completely to prevent smudging.
Experiment with different shades of blue for a unique ocean theme.
Use a steady hand for the swirls, or practice on a nail wheel first.
If the gradient effect is too harsh, lightly blend the colors with a sponge again.
Always finish with a good top coat to enhance durability and shine.
