Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File and shape your nails to the desired length.
- Buff the surface of the nails to ensure smoothness.
- Apply a base coat and allow it to dry completely.
2
Create the gradient base.
- Apply a light base color (white or nude) to all nails and let it dry.
- On a makeup sponge, apply strips of the nail polish colors starting from the lightest to the darkest.
- Dab the sponge onto each nail to blend the colors, repeating until the desired gradient effect is achieved.
3
Add the geometric pattern.
- Using a stamping plate or nail art brush, carefully apply the white polish to create the geometric design.
- Press the stamping plate firmly onto the sponge for even transfer of the pattern.
- Ensure the pattern is centered on each nail and allow it to dry.
4
Finish with top coat.
- Apply a top coat over the design to secure it and add shine.
- Be careful not to smudge the design while applying.
- Allow the top coat to dry completely.
5
Clean up.
- Use acetone and cotton to clean any excess polish around the nails.
- Apply tape around the nail edges beforehand for easy cleanup.
Pro Tips
Practice the gradient technique on a piece of paper before applying it to your nails.
Use a light hand when applying the stamping or painting pattern to avoid smudges.
Keep your nails hydrated and moisturized to enhance the overall design.
Allow each layer of polish to dry thoroughly to prevent smudging during the application of subsequent layers.
