Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prep the nails.
- File the nails to your desired shape.
- Push back cuticles gently using a cuticle pusher.
- Apply a base coat to all nails for protection.
2
Apply the base color.
- Paint the majority of the nails with hot pink nail polish.
- Allow the base color to dry completely before proceeding.
3
Create the swirling pattern.
- Using the light pink polish, apply a couple of wavy lines on top of the hot pink layer.
- Blend slightly using a fine detail brush for a smooth transition.
- Add additional swirls with different thicknesses for a more dynamic look.
4
Add glitter and embellishments.
- Apply silver glitter polish to select areas on each nail for a sparkly effect.
- Using a dotting tool, place small rhinestones on the nails for embellishment.
- Ensure everything is positioned evenly across the nails.
5
Seal the design.
- Once everything is dry, apply a top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Cure under a UV lamp if using gel polish, or allow to air dry.
6
Cleanup.
- Use a clean-up brush dipped in nail polish remover to tidy edges.
- Remove any excess polish from the skin around the nails.
Pro Tips
Use a fast-drying top coat to speed up the process.
Practice the swirling technique on a nail wheel or paper before applying it to the nails.
Apply the rhinestones while the top coat is still wet for better adhesion.
Be patient and allow each layer to dry thoroughly for the best results.
