Step-by-Step Application
-
Nail Preparation:
- Clean and shape your nails. Push back the cuticles and perform a manicure.
- Lightly buff the nail surface to make it smooth.
- Apply a base coat to protect your nails from the nail polish and ensure longer-lasting results.
-
Base Color Application:
- Apply nude or white nail polish to your nails. Use two coats for an opaque finish, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly.
- For a cohesive look, alternate between nude and white polish on different nails as shown in the images.
-
Gold Polish Application:
- Apply gold nail polish to one or two accent nails. You can use a fine detail brush for precise application if needed.
- Allow the gold polish to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.
-
Adding Embellishments:
- Use nail glue to carefully attach gold embellishments such as small bows or rings to your nails.
- Place the embellishments strategically, focusing on the center or near the cuticle area for a balanced look.
- Add pearl stickers to enhance the design. Place them within or near the gold embellishments for a cohesive appearance.
-
Creating Patterns:
- Use the fine detail brush to add small gold lines or accents around the embellishments.
- Create delicate patterns, such as fine lines or small loops, to complement the gold and pearl elements.
-
Final Touches:
- Allow all the nails to dry completely.
- Apply a top coat to protect your nails and ensure the design lasts longer.
- Once the top coat is completely dry, use a nail polish drying spray or UV lamp to finish the process.
Tips and Tricks
- Be meticulous and patient when attaching embellishments. Ensure they are securely glued and evenly placed.
- Keep the fine detail brushes clean and dry to achieve smoother lines and patterns.
- Allow sufficient drying time for your nails. Do not rush, and make sure each layer is fully dry before moving to the next step.
