1
Prepare your nails.
- File and shape your nails to your desired length.

- Apply cuticle oil and push back cuticles gently.
- Finish with a base coat to protect your natural nails.
2
Apply the base color.
- Choose one color as your base (e.g., teal) and apply it to all nails.
- Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second coat for opacity.

Create geometric patterns.
- Apply striping tape to sections of the nails where you want to create color blocks.
- Fill in the sections with different colors (e.g., yellow, pink, orange) and let dry.
- Carefully remove the tape to reveal sharp lines.

- Clean up any excess polish around the nails with polish remover on a brush or cotton pad.
