How To Recreate It

  1. Apply a base coat and let it dry completely.
  2. Create abstract shapes using purple and yellow polishes, allowing them to blend slightly.
  3. While the polish is still slightly wet, sprinkle or carefully apply gold glitter to selected areas.
  4. Allow the design to dry fully.
  5. Apply a thick layer of top coat to seal the design and create a smooth finish.
