Tools

I used:

• Barry M 417 Blue Grape
• Barry M Matte Top Coat
• Barry M 245
• H&M Glitter Gold
• Essence 01 Absolute Pure
• Small paintbrush
• Circular silver gems

Step 1

Paint your nails blue. Add a normal top coat to stop the colour rubbing off.

Step 2

Paint your nails with the matte top coat to turn them matte. Alternatively, you could just use a matte blue nail varnish.

Step 3

Stick tape across most of your nail, leaving a gap by your cuticle. Paint this bit with the gold and take the tape off immediately. Or you could hand paint as I did.

Step 4

Using a paintbrush, paint gold glitter over the gold strips.

Step 5

Use a small dab of clear nail varnish to stick on each gem in the middle of each gold strip.

Do not add a normal top coat over this design or the matte effect will be ruined.
