Step By Step Breakdown:
- Prep the nails and shape them into long almond silhouettes with narrow, tapered tips.
- Apply a base coat and cure completely.
- Paint every nail with two thin coats of bright electric-blue polish, curing between coats.
- Use a fine liner brush and green polish to paint slender curved cherry stems across each nail.
- Add small leaf-like green details to selected stems to recreate the scattered botanical look.
- Apply small dots of rhinestone gel at the ends of the stems.
- Place tiny red rhinestones individually or in pairs to form the cherries.
- Vary the position of the cherry clusters across each nail for the scattered pattern shown in the photo.
- Cure the rhinestone gel thoroughly and check that each crystal is securely attached.
- Finish with a high-gloss top coat around the rhinestones, leaving their faceted surfaces uncovered for maximum sparkle.
