Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
File and shape your nails to your desired length.
Push back cuticles gently and apply a base coat to protect the nails.
2
Apply the base color.
Paint the majority of your nails with black nail polish.
Allow the black polish to dry completely before moving on.
3
Create the floral designs.
Use a dotting tool to create flower petals using pink and white polish.
Add small dots inside the flowers for detail.
Alternatively, use a stencil or stickers for added ease.
4
Add glitter and gradients.
On a few nails, use the sponge technique to create a gradient effect with pink polish.
Top it with a layer of glitter polish for extra sparkle.
5
Final touches.
Once all designs are dry, apply a top coat to seal the artwork.
Clean up any excess polish around the cuticles with nail polish remover and a cleanup brush.
Pro Tips
Always start with a base coat to protect your nails from staining.
Allow each layer to dry completely to avoid smudging your designs.
Practice flower designs on a piece of paper before applying them to your nails for better results.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process.
