Step 1
Prep the nails. Apply primer then a gel polish base coat and cure. Apply two coats of nude gel polish to all fingers except the ring fingers. Cure.
Step 2
Using a blue gel polish, paint French tips on the index fingers and cure. Then, use brown gel polish and a dotting tool to add dots in a straight line down the middle of the nails. Create two more lines of dots on either side. Cure.
Step 3
Using a thin nail art brush and the brown gel polish, paint a star shape in the bottom right corner of each middle fingernail. Cure, then paint a star in the top left corner of each middle fingernail with the blue gel polish. Cure. Using the dotting tool, add a dot to the centre of each star in the contrasting colour and cure.
Step 4
Apply two coats of brown gel polish to the ring fingers, curing between each coat. Use the blue gel polish and dotting tool to add dots in a straight line down the centre of the nails. Create two more lines of dots on either side and cure.
Step 5
Use a thin nail art brush to paint a star shape in the centre of each pinky fingernail using the brown gel polish. Cure, then use the dotting tool to place a blue gel polish dot in the centre of each star. Cure.
Step 6
Apply glossy gel polish top coat for a mirror-like finish and cure. Apply a few drops of cuticle oil (I used Mii Cosmetics Nourish + Nurture Nail and Cuticle Oil) and massage around the cuticles.
