Step 1

1. Prep the nails with a base coat. Once dry, use the striper brush and black polish to apply a thin french tip. For a steady application, roll the nail with the brush.

2. Outline both sides of the nail with the thin brush and black polish.

3. To outline the half moon of the nail, apply the black polish in small dashes versus one long stroke for more precision and smoother application.

5. Use a toothpick to pick up a single sequin from the glitter polish and apply it on the center of the nail.  Once the polish is completely dry, seal the entire design with top coat.
