Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails.
- File and shape the nails to desired length.
- Push back the cuticles and buff the nail surface.
2
Apply base coat.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to each nail for protection.
- Allow it to dry thoroughly.
3
Paint the nude polish.
- Apply two coats of nude polish on each nail, allowing each coat to dry.
- Create a fade with the rose gold polish at the cuticle area before the last coat dries.
4
Add the French tips.
- Use white polish to create a curved line at the tips of each nail.
- Ensure the white polish is neatly applied.
5
Apply gold foil and embellishments.
- Using a striping brush, apply adhesive if necessary and gently place gold foil on desired areas.
- Use a dotting tool to place small white dots and glitter accents around the nails.
6
Finish with top coat.
- Once all elements are dry, apply a top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Clean up any excess polish around the nails with acetone.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer is completely dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Use a light hand when applying foil to prevent it from tearing.
If you don’t have gold foil, gold nail polish can be used for similar effects.
For an extra glossy finish, consider a gel top coat.
