Materials Needed:
- Nail file
- Nail buffer
- Base coat
- Matte beige nail polish
- Matte green nail polish
- Gold metallic nail polish
- Fine nail art brush
- Top coat
- Clean-up brush
- Nail polish remover
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare Your Nails:
- First, file your nails into a stiletto shape, making sure they are even and smooth.
- Next, buff the surface of your nails to remove any shine. This helps the polish adhere better.
- Then, wash your hands to remove any dust and oils from the nail surface.
- Apply the Base Coat:
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to each nail. This step protects your natural nails from staining and provides a smooth surface for the polish.
- Paint the Base Color:
- Apply two thin coats of matte beige nail polish to all your nails except for the accent nails. Let each coat dry completely before applying the next one.
- For the accent nails, apply two thin coats of matte green nail polish. Again, ensure each coat is dry before applying the next.
- Create the Gold Accent:
- Now, use the fine nail art brush to apply a diagonal stroke of gold metallic nail polish on the accent nails. Start from the base of the nail and sweep the brush towards the tip, creating a sharp, clean line. Allow the gold polish to dry completely.
- Add Texture and Detail:
- For an added touch of elegance, use the gold metallic nail polish to create small, intricate designs on the accent nails. This could be a leaf pattern or a simple line detail that follows the curve of the nail.
- Seal the Design:
- Once all the polish is dry, apply a top coat to seal the design. Since the base colors are matte, consider using a matte top coat to maintain the overall look. For the gold accents, you may opt for a glossy top coat to enhance the metallic shine.
- Clean Up:
- Finally, dip a clean-up brush in nail polish remover and carefully clean around the edges of your nails to remove any excess polish for a professional finish.
Tips for Perfect Application:
- Always apply thin layers of polish to avoid streaks and bubbles.
- Additionally, let each layer dry completely to prevent smudging.
- Practice the gold detailing on a piece of paper before applying it to your nails.
