1
Prepare the nails.
- Remove any previous nail polish using nail polish remover.
- Shape the nails with a nail file to your desired length and shape.
- Clean the nails thoroughly to remove any dust or oils.
2
Apply base coat.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to protect the nails and enhance polish adhesion.
- Allow the base coat to dry completely before applying colored polish.
3
Paint the base color.
- Apply two coats of deep brown nail polish, allowing each coat to dry completely.
- Ensure even coverage by applying polish from the base of the nail to the tip.
4
Create gold dot accents.
- Using a dotting tool, add small gold dots on some of the brown nails.
- Space out the dots evenly for a balanced look.
5
Add leaf designs.
- Using an art brush, paint intricate leaf patterns with gold nail polish on one nail.
- Allow highlighting and detailing for a more refined appearance.
6
Create accent lines.
- Using striping tape, apply white nail polish in horizontal lines on a chosen nail.
- Remove the tape while the polish is wet for clean lines.
7
Seal the design.
- Once all the designs are dry, apply a top coat over each nail.
- Allow the top coat to dry completely for a glossy finish.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry to avoid smudging when applying the next.
Practice the leaf design on a piece of paper before applying it to your nails.
Use a small amount of gold polish to avoid overloading the brush.
