Blue Star Milky Almond
Description of Design:
A dreamy celestial manicure featuring medium almond nails with a translucent milky-white base and scattered electric-blue stars. Stars in different sizes are positioned across each nail for a playful floating effect, while select accents feature tiny silver rhinestones at their centers.

Step By Step Breakdown:
- Prep the nails and shape them into medium almond silhouettes with softly tapered tips.
- Apply a base coat and cure completely.
- Apply one or two thin coats of translucent milky-white polish, keeping the finish slightly sheer.
- Use a fine detail brush and bright blue polish to paint five-point stars in varying sizes across each nail.
- Position some stars near the cuticles, others through the center, and several toward the tips to recreate the scattered layout.
- Allow portions of selected stars to extend toward the sidewalls for a more organic, continuous appearance.
- Add smaller blue star accents between the larger motifs where needed.
- Place tiny silver rhinestones in the centers of selected stars for subtle dimension and sparkle.
- Secure the crystals with gem gel and cure thoroughly.
- Finish with a high-gloss top coat, carefully sealing around the rhinestones.
