Paint nails a light base colour. I'm using Essie "ballet slippers". I apologize for my unhealthy nails, my acrylics ruined them. :(

Paint your accent colour on Scotch tape. I'm using Essie "play date". Let this dry for at least 30 minutes.

I added a little bit of glitter to finish it off and some top coat. :)
