Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prep your nails.

- Buff the surface to smooth it out.
- Push back cuticles gently.
2
Apply a base coat.
- Use a clear base coat to protect your natural nails.
- Allow it to dry completely.
3
Create the background gradient.
- Using a sponge, apply a stripe of pastel pink and turquoise blue.
- Dab the sponge on the nails to create a soft gradient effect.
- Repeat until the gradient is well-blended.
4
Paint the ocean waves.
- Use a detail brush to create wave patterns with turquoise blue.
- Add highlights with creamy white to enhance depth.
5
Add palm tree silhouettes.
- Using a black polish, paint palm trees on the nails.
- Fill in the tree shape carefully and allow to dry.
6
Paint elements like stars and logos.

- Optionally, add any logo designs with nail stickers or paint.
7
Apply gold foil.
- Apply a layer of gold metallic polish only on the tips.
- Sprinkle gold foil onto the wet polish and press gently.
8
Finish with a top coat.
- Once all elements are dry, apply a clear top coat for shine.
- Ensure it encapsulates the edges for durability.
Pro Tips
Always use a base coat to protect your nails.
Be patient and allow each layer to dry thoroughly.
Practice the sponge technique on a piece of paper before applying to the nails.
Use a fine brush for more intricate designs like palm trees.
Consider using striping tape to create clean lines.
