  3. Apply 2-3 thin coats of your base color (e.g., gray or navy), curing after each coat.
  4. Use a thin brush to create clean lines or color blocking with white or a subtle accent color.
  5. Apply a top coat for a glossy finish (or matte for a modern look) and cure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do this design with regular nail polish?

Yes, but gel polish is recommended for its durability and long-lasting shine. Regular polish might chip more easily.

How long will this design last?

With proper application and care, gel polish can last up to two weeks without chipping.

Is it hard to create the clean lines?

It requires a steady hand and practice. Using striping tape can help guide your lines.

What if I don't have an LED/UV lamp?

You will need an LED/UV lamp for curing gel polish. Regular polish is an alternative if you don't have one.

Can I add glitter to this design?

A subtle touch of glitter can add a hint of glamour, but avoid excessive glitter to maintain the professional look. A glitter topcoat could add subtle sparkle.

How often should I reapply cuticle oil?

Cuticle oil should be applied at least once daily, preferably before bed, to keep your nails and cuticles healthy and hydrated.

Aftercare Tips

  • Keep your hands moisturized with a nourishing hand cream.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the polish.
  • Schedule regular nail appointments to maintain healthy nails.

Safe Removal

  • 1.File the top coat to break the seal.
  • 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone and place them on your nails, securing with foil.
  • 3.After 10-15 minutes, gently remove the polish with a cuticle pusher.
