Achieving these pearly nails might appear intricate, but they’re quite simple to do yourself. Choose a nail polish with pearl shimmer and apply a single coat. After it dries, use the polish to create dots across the nail and then swirl them in circular motions using a dotting tool. Nail artist @simlynail, who designed this pink set, offers a comprehensive tutorial you can follow.
