Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails
- File and buff your nails to your desired shape and smoothness.
- Push back your cuticles gently.
- Apply a base coat to protect your nails.
2
Apply the base color
- Paint all nails with the turquoise nail polish.
- Allow the first coat to dry and apply a second coat if needed for full opacity.
3
Create lace patterns
- Using a stamping plate, apply white polish to the lace design and press onto the tips of your nails.
- If stamping isn’t an option, use a liner brush to hand-paint lace patterns.
4
Add embellishments
- Place pearls and gold studs on the appropriate nails while the polish is still tacky.
- Use tweezers for precision.
5
Apply silver glitter
- On one accent nail, apply the silver glitter polish, focusing on the cuticle area and fading down.
- Layer until you achieve the desired amount of sparkle.
6
Seal the design
- Once everything is dry, apply a top coat to seal your design and add shine.
- Be careful to ensure the top coat doesn’t smudge the nail art.
Pro Tips
Ensure all layers are dry before proceeding to avoid smudging.
Use a thin layer of top coat to prevent the art from being disturbed.
Practice the lace design on a practice nail or a piece of paper before applying to your nails.
Consider using liquid tape around your cuticles for easier cleanup.
