Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File and shape your nails to your desired length.
- Gently push back cuticles using a cuticle pusher.
- Buff the nail surface to create a smooth canvas.
2
Apply base coat.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to each nail.
- Allow the base coat to dry completely.
3
Paint the base color.
- Apply two coats of teal nail polish, allowing each coat to dry fully in between.
- Ensure even coverage on all nails.
4
Create designs.
- Using a dotting tool, apply black polish to create abstract designs or shapes.
- Use a fine detail brush to paint floral patterns or leaves, if desired.
- Lightly press gold foil onto the wet nail polish for accents.
5
Seal the design.
- Once the design is dry, apply a top coat to ensure longevity.
- Be careful not to smudge the designs while applying the top coat.
6
Cleanup.
- Use a cleanup brush dipped in nail polish remover to tidy up any polish around the cuticles.
- Remove any excess polish from the surrounding skin.
Pro Tips
Work patiently and allow drying time between each step to prevent smudging.
Practice your design on a practice wheel or fake nails before applying it to your own.
If nail art tools aren’t available, a toothpick can serve as an alternative for dotting.
