Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails
- File and shape the nails to your desired length.
- Gently push back the cuticles for a neat base.

2
Apply the gradient base
- Paint the nails with a light pink polish as the base color.
- Using a makeup sponge, dab on darker pink polish towards the tips to create a gradient effect.
- Blend the gradient by gently pressing the sponge onto the nail, repeating as necessary.

Add glitter and designs
- Choose a few nails to apply glitter polish or use a brush to precisely place glitter.
- For the accent nail, add a design using a dotting tool or a precision brush.
- Adhere nail gems to the accent nail with top coat or nail glue.

Finish with top coat
- Allow the design to dry completely.
- Apply a top coat over all nails to seal the design and add shine.

Pro Tips
For a smoother gradient, blend the two pink polishes thoroughly on the sponge before applying.
You can use a small brush to apply the glitter for more control over placement.
Placement of gems can vary; experiment to find a design that suits your style.
Always wait for each layer to dry before applying the next to prevent smudges.
