How to do the wavy nail design at home?
Step 1. Prepping the nails is very important so you can have a flawless base. Make sure to cut your cuticles next! Cut and shape your nails by filing. Some examples are almond, coffin, and square-shaped.
Step 2. Apply a layer of the base coat.
Step 3. Apply 2-3 layers of a sheer polish that looks closest to the color of your nails.
Step 4. Put some nail polish on a clean plastic or foil. Next, dip a thin brush into the nail polish. Evenly coat the brush. Drag some out so that when you apply the nail polish, it won’t have globs on the nail.
Step 5. Now the fun part. Let’s create the waves! First, start at the corner of your nail and then form the squiggles in an upward motion. Secondly, build up the thickness of your line by going by it again. This also helps saturate the color too.Â
Step 6. Repeat the process with different shades of green. If you want you can add some basic colors like white or nude that would go beautifully with it. To change colors, dip your brush in a small container with acetone. Next, wipe it clean with a towel.Â
Step 7. Clean off the edges by dipping your brush into the acetone so that your nails look tidy and perfect!
Step 8. Apply a clear top coat. It can be glossy or matte depending on what you like.
Step 9. Put cuticle oil on the nails and then you’re done!
