Create a sky-blue manicure with clouds in 3 simple steps

The heavens are always a source of inspiration, so if you find yourself staring up at the sky, you’ll probably enjoy this manicure. Aside from its simplicity, these glittery blue nails are both cheerful and pretty.

Start by creating a glittery blue base, and then add clusters of clouds using white nail gel and the dotting tool. Each cloud is made up of four to six dots. If you don’t have blue glitter polish, feel free to substitute any shade of blue that makes you happy. The sky’s the limit!

Materials
- Blue glitter nail gel (Presto, "SC-48")
- UV or LED lamp (Akzentz Hybrid Pro Lamp, not shown)
- White nail gel (Akzentz Gel Play, "White")
- Dotting tool (Wistonia Fab Gadgets No. 7)
- No-wipe top coat (Kupa)

Instructions
1. Apply two coats of blue glitter nail gel, and cure it in-between coats with the lamp.

2. Dip the dotting tool into the white nail gel, then apply a cluster of dots to simulate clouds. Paint four to five clusters, based on the size of your nail, and then cure the gel with the lamp.

3. Seal in your artwork with a layer of no-wipe top coat, then cure it with the lamp.

Stay pretty!
