Instructions

    Apply a shimmer top coat over the black polish and let it dry completely.

  3. Small 113199 2f2016 01 29 141723 04 04 fig3

    Use a cosmetic sponge to apply a textured band of white polish across each nail. Do not cover the whole nail.

    Repeat step 4 with green polish, filling in more of the white space.

    Fill the remainder of the white space by sponging purple polish onto the nails.

    Using a small dotting tool and white polish, apply a few ‘stars‘ to your nails. Let your nails dry.
