1
Prepare your nails for painting.

2
Apply the base color.
- Paint two thin layers of turquoise nail polish, allowing each layer to dry completely.
- If desired, apply a layer of glitter polish at the cuticle area for a gradient effect.

- Carefully use tweezers to place the gold embellishments and white beads on top of the glue.
- Make sure to space the elements evenly for a balanced design.

- Let the nails dry completely before doing any activities.
Pro Tips
Ensure your base coat is completely dry before applying colored polish to prevent smudging.
For added durability, consider applying two layers of top coat over the design.
If you're new to applying embellishments, practice on a piece of paper first to avoid wasting materials.
