3. Add strips of foil tape to create thin metallic lines where you see fit. Using tweezers or a dotting tool, dip the jewels in top coat, and position them where you want on each nail. Use your own creativity for your designs.

polish to achieve this look. Start by making the accent nail on your

connect the dots in the middle and make your star. Repeat this process
to make your second star on the same nail.
