Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File and shape your nails using a nail file.
- Buff the surface of your nails to create a smooth base.
- Use a cuticle remover to tidy up the edges of your nails.
- Apply a base coat and allow it to dry.
2
Create the gradient base.
- Using a makeup sponge, apply dark navy polish at the top and light blue at the bottom.
- Dab the sponge onto the nail to blend the two colors, repeating until you achieve the desired gradient effect.
- Once dry, apply a top coat to smooth the gradient.
3
Add tree details.
- Using a detailing brush, paint silhouettes of evergreen trees at the base of the nail with black polish.
- Allow the black paint to dry completely before moving on.
4
Incorporate glitter and snow.
- Apply silver glitter polish over the trees for a snowy effect.
- Use a dotting tool to create white dots representing snowflakes.
- Add a few larger white dots for an extra snowy dimension.
5
Finish with a top coat.
- Once all designs are dry, apply a generous coat of top coat to seal and protect the design.
- Ensure the top coat is applied over the entire nail for a uniform finish.
Pro Tips
Use a small detailing brush for precision when painting trees.
Make sure each layer of polish is dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Experiment with different blue shades to customize your gradient.
Seal your design with a high-quality top coat to maintain its longevity.
