Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails.
- File the nails to the desired square shape.
- Buff the surface of the nails lightly for a smooth finish.
- Apply a base coat to protect the nails.
2
Apply the brown polish.
- Paint the entire nail with the rich brown polish.
- Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second coat for full opacity.
3
Create the ombre effect.
- Dip the nail brush or sponge into the glitter polish.
- Gently dab the glitter onto the tips of the nails, blending it downwards towards the brown base.
- Repeat if necessary to achieve the desired opacity of glitter.
4
Finish with top coat.
- Once the design is dry, apply a top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Cap the edges of the nails to prevent chipping.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer is fully dry before moving on to the next to avoid smudging.
For a more blended ombre, use a damp sponge to dab the glitter on gently.
If you get glitter on your skin, use nail polish remover on a cotton pad to clean it up.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat for faster finishing.
