1. Stage one! Choose a color palette.
   In any manicure with patterns, a combination of three varnishes of different textures will look spectacular: glossy, matte and shiny.
2. Paint all nails. Remember that before this you need to polish your nails, give them the same shape and remove the cuticle.
3. Third stage.
   Take a transparent or colored tape and cut off the necessary element with scissors. Think over the shape of the pattern in advance so that it is easier for you to determine the length and width of the adhesive tape. Next, you will have to stick the tape on the colored nails. The varnish must dry completely, otherwise it will begin to lag behind along with the adhesive tape. If you have a little time for a manicure, you can do the pattern the next day after applying the coating.
4. Paint over the area free from adhesive tape with any color and let dry. Remove the tape sharply, remove the adhesive layer that remains on the nail.
5. Final step.
   At the end, glitter, a sticker or any other decoration can be applied.
