Step By Step Breakdown:
- Prep the nails and shape them into long coffin extensions with straight sidewalls and squared tips.
- Apply a glossy nude-pink base to the French accent nails and cure completely.
- Paint selected nails fully in deep navy blue.
- Add evenly spaced creamy white dots over the navy nails to create the bold polka dot pattern.
- On selected nude nails, paint curved navy French tips and add matching white polka dots.
- Create creamy white French sections on additional accent nails, keeping the smile lines asymmetrical and flowing.
- Add fine raised curved lines over the white sections to recreate the textured wave effect.
- For the leopard nails, apply a blue-toned base and paint irregular dark navy spots with smaller abstract markings around them.
- Refine the French edges, dots, and leopard markings with a fine detail brush.
- Finish with a high-gloss top coat while preserving the dimensional texture of the raised white details.
