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 surface of the nails lightly.
- Apply a base coat to protect the nails and ensure smooth polish application.
2
Create the base gradient.
- Using a makeup sponge, apply coral and teal nail polish in a gradient pattern.
- Lightly dab the sponge onto each nail to create the gradient effect.
- Allow the polish to dry.
3
Add wave patterns.
- With a thin nail art brush, draw wave patterns on each nail using nude polish.
- Go over the waves with gold glitter polish for a shimmering effect.
4
Apply embellishments.
- Use a dotting tool to apply small white dots randomly over the nail design.
5
Seal the design.
- Finish with a top coat to add shine and prolong the wear of the nail design.
6
Clean up the edges.
- Use a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover to clean excess polish from the skin around your nails.
Pro Tips
Use a makeup sponge for a smooth gradient effect between colors.
Allow each layer to dry fully to avoid smudging.
If free-handing waves is tricky, try using nail art stickers in a wave pattern.
Applying a quick-dry top coat can help speed up the drying process.
