Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File your nails to your desired shape.
- Push back your cuticles and buffer the nail surface for a smooth finish.
- Apply a base coat and let it dry.
2
Apply the teal base color.
- Apply two coats of teal nail polish, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next one.
- Ensure even coverage for a flawless look.
3
Add the gold foil accents.
- Use tweezers to pick up small pieces of gold foil.
- Gently press the foil onto the wet teal polish where you want the floral design.
- Use a nail art brush to create more detailed shapes if desired.
4
Create gold dots.
- Use a dotting tool to add small gold dots alongside the foil design.
- Make sure to vary the size of the dots for a more dynamic look.
5
Seal your design.
- Once everything is dry, apply a top coat to protect the design and add shine.
- Clean up any excess polish around your cuticles with a brush and nail polish remover.
Pro Tips
Apply the base coat evenly to prevent staining from the teal polish.
Work in small sections when applying the foil to prevent it from sticking together.
If you don't have a dotting tool, use a toothpick or a bobby pin for the dots.
Always allow each layer of polish to dry before moving to the next step for a cleaner finish.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process.
