How to Do the Summer Blush Plaid Nail at Home?

Today I’m sharing a blush plaid nail art tutorial that’s perfect for summer. It’s beginner-friendly, just follow the steps and you’ll be done!

Required tools and materials:

Nail clippers

Nail file (optional)

Cuticle pushers and scissors (optional, but recommended)

Buffing strips/sponges (optional)

Cleansing pads/alcohol (75% concentration or higher)

Nail polish remover/removal bag (if removing old polish)

Base gel (essential for gel polish)

Colored gel/polish (primary color)

Top coat/top coat

Gel polish (UV/LED, essential for gel polish)

Transfer gel polish (or regular transfer polish): Designed for transferring designs, offering strong adhesion and rich color.

Checkered pattern transfer sheet: Features various checkered patterns and serves as a “template” for transfers.

Silicone transfer tip: Used to remove designs from the transfer sheet. Soft texture allows for better adherence to the nail.

Scraper: Scrapes off excess polish from the transfer sheet, leaving a clear image on the sheet.

Below is a step-by-step checkered nail art tutorial:

Step 1: Base Color

Choose a guava pink gel polish (I used CHROMÉCLAIR’s HEMA-free Gel Polish products No. 45, the color is gorgeous!) and apply it evenly to the nails, making sure to cover the edges. Once applied, dry under a UV/LED lamp to set the look.

Step 2: Treating Slack + Applying Glue Gradient

– Use a cleaning cotton pad to clean any excess glue from the nail surface.

– Use the “Blush Blue” Glue Tool to gently blend the colors to create a natural blush blue gradient.

– After taking the gradient effect, use UV/LED light to fix the color

Step 3: Primer for reinforcement: Apply primer to cover the previous color (making subsequent patterns more solid). After applying primer, cure with a UV/LED light.

Step 4: Checkered Pattern Transfer

– Use yellow adhesive to transfer the checkered pattern from the nail art stencil.

– Slowly transfer the grid pattern onto the surface of your nail. After adjusting the position, use UV/LED light to firmly fix the pattern.

Step 5: Finish with a topcoat

Apply a topcoat (to enhance the shine and protect the previous pattern and color). After applying the topcoat, illuminate the nails with a UV/LED lamp. Once the light is on, your checkered nail art is complete.

Finally, I recommend CHROMÉCLAIR’s HEMA-free Gel Polish products: focus on safety, low irritation, environmental protection, no harmful ingredients, reduce the risk of allergies (TPO-free & HEMA-free), a variety of colors, Catering to mainstream aesthetics, it is designed specifically for users who pursue non-toxic and environmentally friendly products, protecting healthy nails and ensuring a safe and secure experience for every consumer.
