Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prep the nails
- File and shape your nails to your desired length.
- Buff the surface of each nail to create a smooth canvas.
- Apply a base coat and let it dry completely.
2
Apply the base color
- Paint the nails with a coat of matte orange polish, covering the entire nail.
- Allow the orange polish to dry completely before moving to the next step.
3
Create the ombre effect
- Use a makeup sponge to pick up the orange polish and white polish.
- Dab the sponge onto the tips of the nails to blend the two colors together, creating an ombre effect.
- Reapply and blend until the transition is smooth and to your liking.
4
Add glitter
- Using a dotting tool or toothpick, apply red and gold glitter polish sporadically on the orange section.
- Focus on applying more glitter towards the cuticle and gradually reducing it towards the tips.
5
Finish with top coat
- Once everything is dry, apply a top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Ensure to cover the edges for longevity.
- Allow the top coat to dry completely before using your hands.
Pro Tips
For a smoother ombre, blend gently using the sponge without harsh taps.
If you're new to nail art, practice the ombre technique on a piece of paper first.
Always allow each layer to dry fully to prevent smudging the next one.
If glitter is overwhelming, feel free to use less or make it more concentrated towards the cuticle.
