Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails.
- File and shape your nails to your desired length.
- Buff the surface to smooth out any imperfections.
- Apply a base coat to protect your natural nails.
2
Apply the gradient polish.
- Paint the entire nail with light lavender polish as the base color.
- Using a makeup sponge, dab medium lavender polish at the tip of the nail to create a gradient effect.
- Blend the medium lavender into the light lavender for a seamless transition.
3
Add the glitter.
- Apply a thin coat of white or silver glitter polish over the gradient layer.
- Ensure the glitter is concentrated more on the tips and dispersed as it moves down.
4
Place the studs.
- Use a tweezers to pick up each metallic stud.
- Apply a top coat over the area where you want to place the stud and carefully place it on the wet top coat.
- Repeat for all nails and ensure even spacing.
5
Finish the design.
- Once the studs are in place, apply a final top coat over the entire nail to secure everything.
- Clean up any excess polish around the nails with a brush dipped in nail polish remover and a cotton pad.
Pro Tips
For a more blended gradient, use multiple shades between light and dark lavender.
Make sure to let each layer dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
If you don't have a makeup sponge, you can use a small brush for the gradient effect.
Experiment with different glitter colors to customize your design.
