Nail Art Materials

  • 1 bottle Base coat For protecting your nails
  • 1 bottle Nail polish in ocean blue For the base color
  • 1 bottle Nail polish in sandy beige To create the sand effect
  • 1 bottle Nail polish in sunny yellow For sun design
  • 1 set Nail art brushes or dotting tools For detailed designs
  • 1 roll Nail tape Optional for clean lines
  • 1 bottle Top coat To seal finished nail art
  • 1 pad Nail remover For cleaning mistakes
  • 3 pads Cotton pads For applying nail remover
  • 1 bowl A small bowl of water For clean-up

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start with clean, dry nails. Remove any old polish using nail remover and cotton pads.

Base Coating

  • Apply a clear base coat to protect your nails and allow it to dry completely.

Base Color Application

  • Use ocean blue polish for the base. Apply two thin coats for an even finish and let them dry.

Sand Effect Creation

  • With sandy beige polish, use a nail art brush to create a 'sand' design near the cuticle using light, tapping motions for texture.

Sun Design

  • Using sunny yellow, create a sun design on one or two accent nails by dotting or painting small arcs to signify rays.

Final Touches

  • Once everything is dry, apply a top coat to seal your design and let it dry completely.

Notes

Experiment with different color combinations, use nail tape for clean lines, and consider adding glitter for a sparkling effect.
