Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails.
- File the nails to the desired shape, preferably an almond shape.
- Gently push back cuticles using a cuticle pusher.
- Buff the nail surface for better polish adherence.
2
Apply a base coat.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat and cure it if using gel or let it dry for standard polish.
3
Create the ombre effect.
- Apply deep teal polish to the tip of the nail.
- Add turquoise polish starting from the middle and blend the two colors using a brush or a sponge for a gradual effect.
- Apply a fine glitter at the cuticle area for added sparkle.
4
Add embellishments.
- Use a dotting tool or toothpick to apply a clear top coat where you want to place rhinestones.
- Carefully place rhinestones using a picker or wax pencil on the wet top coat.
- Ensure the embellishments are evenly spaced and secure.
5
Finish with a top coat.
- Once the rhinestones are placed, apply a top coat over the entire nail to seal the design efforts and give a glossy finish.
- Cure it under a UV lamp if using gel polish, or let it dry if using regular polish.
6
Cleanup.
- Dip a cotton pad in acetone and clean around the edges of the nails to remove excess polish.
- Wash your hands to remove any residue.
Pro Tips
Make sure to apply thin layers of polish to avoid heavy buildup.
For the ombre effect, patience is key; take your time blending the colors.
If rhinestones are not sticking, consider using nail glue for extra security.
Seal edges of the rhinestones with top coat to prevent snagging or lifting.
Experiment with different glitter sizes for varied effects.
