Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails.
- Start by buffing the natural nails to create a smooth surface.
- Apply a base coat to protect the nails.
2
Create the gradient base.
- Using a makeup sponge, apply a light pink polish to the top half of the sponge.
- Next to the pink, add a pastel lavender polish.
- Dab the sponge onto the nails to blend and create a gradient effect.
- Repeat this process using mint green and sky blue at the tips.
3
Add the black dots.
- Take a dotting tool and dip it in black polish.
- Create random dots on the gradient base, varying in size for a playful look.
4
Apply blue glitter accents.
- Using a fine brush, add blue glitter polish at the base and tips for additional sparkle.
- Make sure the glitter is evenly distributed for a cohesive look.
5
Finish with top coat.
- Once everything is dry, apply a top coat to seal the design.
- Clean up any excess polish around the edges with nail polish remover and cotton pads.
Pro Tips
Allow each layer to dry completely to avoid smudging during the process.
Use tape around the nails to create clean lines if you desire more precision.
Experiment with additional colors and sizes of dots for a more personalized design.
Consider using a fast-drying top coat to speed up the finishing process.
