Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
Shape your nails with a file.
Buff the surface gently.
Push back the cuticles.
Cleanse the nails with a nail cleanser.
2
Apply the base colors.
Apply white nail polish to all nails and let it dry completely.
Apply a top coat for smoother design application.
3
Create the polka dot design.
Use a dotting tool or toothpick and dip into pink, turquoise, and gold polish.
Randomly dot the colors on two nails, ensuring even spacing.

Paint the birthday cake and balloon designs.
Use fine brushes for precision.
On one nail, paint a turquoise cake shape and add details with a fine brush.
On another nail, draw a pink balloon with a party hat and create details with black and white polish.

Finish with a topcoat.
Once all designs are dry, apply a clear topcoat to seal and ensure longevity.
