Step By Step Breakdown:
- Prep the nails and file them into a long, tapered almond shape.
- Apply a base coat and cure according to the product instructions.
- On the solid accent nails, apply a vibrant pink magnetic cat-eye gel polish.
- Hold a magnet near the uncured polish to concentrate the shimmer into a luminous reflective highlight, then cure. Repeat if additional depth is needed.
- On the cherry-design nails, apply a sheer blush-pink base while keeping the finish translucent.
- Using a fine liner brush and light-green polish, paint slender curved stems extending down toward the cherry placement. Add small leaf or branch details near the top.
- Create pairs of pink cherries near the lower half of each accent nail using thick builder gel or dimensional nail-art gel.
- Build each cherry into a rounded raised shape, curing between layers when necessary to maintain definition.
- Add translucent pink or metallic pink detailing over the raised cherries to create their glossy, jewel-like appearance.
- Finish the manicure with a high-shine top coat, carefully coating around the dimensional cherries without flattening their 3D texture.
