Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails
- File and shape your nails to your desired length.
- Buff the surface to remove any shine and create a smooth base.
- Apply cuticle oil to soften cuticles and push them back gently.
- Finish with a base coat to protect your natural nails.
2
Apply base colors
- Paint the majority of your nails with the beige polish, allowing it to dry completely.
- On two nails, apply mint green polish near the cuticle for an ombre effect, blending it up towards the beige.
3
Create the wood grain effect
- Using a thin detailing brush, add vertical lines in a darker shade of beige or light brown to mimic wood grain.
- Alternate the pressure on the brush for more natural irregularities and depth.
4
Add floral artwork
- On one nail, use black polish with a detailing brush to paint floral designs and vines.
- Add small dots of color for accent flowers, using different shades as desired.
5
Incorporate glitter and dots
- Using a dotting tool, apply random dots of glitter polish on various nails for a sparkling effect.
- Use a lighter pink polish to add more dots and create consistency across your design.
6
Finalize the design
- Once all elements are dry, apply a top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Clean up any excess polish around the cuticles and sides with a cleanup brush or cotton pad soaked in remover.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer is dry before applying the next to avoid smudging your design.
Experiment with different color combinations to personalize the design to your taste.
Keep your brush strokes light and gentle to prevent overflow and messiness.
If you're a beginner, practice detailed work on a nail wheel before applying to your nails.
