Applying a base coat to nails

1. Apply a base coat

Applying a base coat is a must as it prevents your natural nails from staining.

2. Apply nail polish

Before commencing with the metal stud nail art, apply black/dark purple nail polish to your pointer finger, pinkie finger, and thumb. 

Applying beige nail polish

For the rest of your unpainted nails, go ahead and apply a beige color.

3. Add stripes

With an ultra-thin and pointy striping brush, apply some of your dark nail polish on it and create a V-shape design on your ring finger.

It’s really not hard to achieve. I would, however, add that it’s much harder to do this with thicker nail polish.

4. Add the studs

Now it’s time for the fun part - adding the gold nail art studs. Use a top coat for this, as it will act as an adhesive for the studs. Then simply lay the gold studs on top of each other in a row. Do this on your middle finger.
