1. First, let's see what today's nail design will look like when finished. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly before starting and remove any residual nail polish with nail polish remover. If you feel it's not clean enough, soak your hands in water for five minutes. This softens the cuticles while cleaning the nail surface. (Make sure to have all your nail tools ready~)
2.Next, use a nail file to shape the edges. Since nails naturally have ridges, buff the surface to smooth and polish it. (Use a nail buffer tool)
3. Filing and buffing creates a lot of dust, so wash your hands thoroughly afterward. Use a cotton swab to clean debris from the nail crevices.
4. Once clean, you can apply color. Before painting, apply a base coat to protect your nails.
You can draw your favorite designs on top—simple is best, like painting a heart on your nails.
5. Choose your favorite color and paint two strokes on the nail to outline a heart shape. Then stick on glitter.
6. Surround the heart with a ring of sparkling glitter. Choose gold or silver glitter based on your preference.
7. After completing one nail, proceed to the others. You can use the same color for all five fingers or select different shades (varied colors create a richer look). Follow the same steps as above.
8. Finally, apply a layer of glitter nail polish to complete the look. Pay special attention to color selection for each nail—candy-colored shades like powder blue, soft yellow, and apple green create the most summery combination when paired together.
