Products & tools

• Regular air-dry polish
• Base coat and top coat
• Nail file
• Fine nail-art brush for painted details

Steps

1. Gently shape the free edge; leave the cuticles intact.
2. Start with clean, dry nails. Apply base coat according to its label.
3. Apply thin coats of your chosen regular polish and let each layer dry.
4. Let the base dry. With a fine nail-art brush, sketch one small section of the reference line at a time using contrasting regular polish. Keep plenty of the base visible; start with one accent nail if the full pattern feels too intricate.
5. Add top coat following its label and allow enough drying time.

Tips

• Place the coral, peach and orange stripes close together but keep each color visible along the curved free edge.
• Sunset ribbon tips. Use this original concept as a visual reference. The home version uses regular polish and does not reproduce extensions, raised decorations or specialist salon effects.

Before you begin

• Use only regular air-dry polish for this guide. Follow the product labels, ventilate the room and stop if irritation occurs. Do not use damaged or painful nails.
