- Prep nails (clean, file, buff) and apply a thin layer of gel base coat, cure under UV/LED lamp.
- Apply two coats of sand-colored gel polish to all nails, curing each coat. This creates your beach base.
- Using the light blue and dark blue gel polishes and a fine detail brush, freehand paint gentle, curving wave lines across the middle and tip of the nail, layering colors to create depth. Cure after desired wave effect is achieved.
- On 1-2 accent nails per hand, use white detail gel paint and a very fine brush to carefully draw a small, stylized seagull in flight above the blue waves. Cure.
- Apply a final layer of glossy gel top coat over all nails to seal the design and enhance shine. Cure thoroughly.
- Wipe off the tacky layer with alcohol for a brilliant, long-lasting finish.

Expert Tip
For realistic waves, use varying pressures and slightly different shades of blue. Don't aim for perfect symmetry; the natural flow of waves is beautifully imperfect. For the seagull, less is more – a few key strokes convey the form effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will this Sand-colored Blue Waves & Seagull design last?
With proper gel application and aftercare, this detailed design can last 2-3 weeks without chipping or fading.
Can I get this design on shorter nails?
Yes, it's adaptable! While medium-length almond nails showcase the full scene best, the sand base and waves can be scaled down, and the seagull placed on one or two accent nails, even on shorter lengths.
Is the seagull hand-painted or a sticker?
For a truly unique and professional finish, the white seagull is meticulously hand-painted with a fine detail brush, allowing for bespoke placement and character.
What if I prefer a matte finish?
While the glossy finish truly enhances the 'wet look' of the waves, a matte top coat can create an interesting, softer, 'driftwood' or 'seashell' texture, giving a different vibe to the design.
Are the blue waves difficult to recreate at home?
Creating fluid, layered waves requires a steady hand and practice with a detail brush. We recommend visiting a professional artist for the best results, especially for the intricate blue waves and delicate seagull.
Can I customize the number of accent nails with the seagull?
Absolutely! We can place the seagull on just one accent nail, or on multiple nails, depending on your preference for detail and artistic balance.
