Expert Tip

For perfectly soft, fluffy clouds, use a small dotting tool or a slightly fanned brush to gently tap and blend the edges of your white polish before curing, creating a more ethereal, less defined cloud shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the cloud and star design last?

With professional application of gel polish and proper aftercare, your Baby Blue Cloud & Silver Stars design can last 2-3 weeks without chipping.

Can I get this design on natural nails, or only extensions?

Absolutely! This delicate design is stunning on both natural nails and extensions, provided your natural nails have enough surface area for the details.

Are the silver stars prone to falling off?

If the silver stars are properly encapsulated within layers of top coat, they should be securely sealed and not prone to falling off during your manicure's wear time.

Can I use nail stickers for the clouds if I'm not good at hand-painting?

Yes, high-quality cloud nail stickers or stencils are an excellent alternative if you prefer not to hand-paint, offering a similar whimsical effect.

What base color alternatives would work with this design?

While baby blue is iconic for this look, soft pastels like lavender, pale pink, or mint green would also beautifully complement the white clouds and silver stars.

Is this design suitable for very short nails?
