Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Begin with nail preparation.
- Apply a base coat to protect your nails and allow it to dry completely.
2
Create the gradient backgrounds.
- Using a sponge, apply pink, orange, and yellow polishes in horizontal stripes.
- Dab the sponge onto the nail to blend the colors softly, forming a sunset gradient.
- Let it dry completely.
3
Add the palm tree silhouettes.
- Using a small nail art brush and black polish, paint thin lines for trunks.
- Add curved lines for fronds at the top of each trunk.
4
Create the sea wave nail design.
- Paint the nail with a shimmery gold base.
- Use blue polish and a striping brush to draw wavy lines for the sea.
- Add small white cloud shapes using a dotting tool or brush.
5
Add flower accents.
- Using a dotting tool, create small pink flowers by placing five dots in a circle.
6
Seal the design.
- Apply a top coat over all nails to add shine and protect the art.
- Allow the nails to dry thoroughly.
Pro Tips
Use a small brush for precision when painting the palm trees and clouds.
For a smoother gradient, apply multiple light dabs rather than pressing too hard with the sponge.
Clean your tools between uses to avoid color mixing.
Let each layer dry completely to prevent smudging.
