- Prep the natural nails by pushing back the cuticles, buffing the nail plate, and applying dehydrator and primer.
- Apply long almond extensions and refine the shape.
- Apply two coats of white gel polish and cure between each coat.
- Use a dotting tool to create scattered black polka dots of varying sizes across each nail.
- With a fine liner brush, paint the bold cobalt blue textured brushstrokes in organic, curved shapes.
- Add thin mustard yellow squiggle lines weaving through the design for movement and contrast.
- Refine the artwork, balancing the placement so each nail complements the next.
