How To Recreate It

  1. Apply a base coat to protect your nails and let it dry completely.
  2. Apply 2-3 thin coats of nude nail polish, allowing each coat to dry fully.
  3. Carefully paint white tips using a French manicure technique or stencils.
  4. On your chosen accent nail (ring finger is common), use a dotting tool or a toothpick to create small, evenly spaced gold dots.
  5. Allow the dots to dry completely, then seal the design with a glossy top coat.

    Ensure the base color is completely dry before applying the gold dots. Apply a thin topcoat to avoid dragging the dots.
  • Chipping?
    Use a high-quality top coat and reapply every few days. Make sure to wrap the edges of your nails with polish.
