The star nails taking over your TikTok are the perfect way to start experimenting with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/winter-2022-nail-trends-pearl-glazed-manicure-sweater-nails" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nail art</a>. In four easy steps, L'OFFICIEL breaks down exactly how to achieve the star nails trend.&nbsp;

Draw stars on a plastic bag.&nbsp;

Though nail artists have steady enough hands to draw the designs directly onto the nails, not all of us have this level of control. To make this <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/fashion-trends-fall-winter-2023-runways" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trend</a> more accessible, it is easier to draw stars on a plastic bag using a writing utensil like a marker or pen. We recommend a clear plastic bag because it will blend into the nail more easily. Whether you want <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/shop-the-mini-skirt-revival" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mini</a> stars or a large star that takes up the whole nail, draw your desired design onto the clear bag.

Paint over the design with nail polish.&nbsp;

After you've <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fashion-illustration-rene-gruau" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drawn</a> the stars onto a clear plastic bag, paint over the designs with your preferred <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-get-hailey-bieber-viral-chrome-nails-glazed-doughnut" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nail polish</a>. Color, formula, and brand are all completely up to you. Once the original color has dried, follow up with a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/types-of-manicures-guide-gel-acrylic-dip" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gel-formula</a> top coat. (We love <a href="https://fave.co/3T0WsO0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this</a> one from Essie.)&nbsp;

Once the nail polish has dried on the clear bag, cut the designs out.&nbsp;

If you want a nail polish color underneath the star design, ensure that the paint has dried fully. Whether or not you'd like your <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/nail-trends-manicures-to-try-this-spring" target="_blank" rel="noopener">natural nail</a> to shine through or you've painted your nails, coat the nails you'd like to add a star with a top coat. This allows for the design to have something to adhere to. Once the star has dried down, follow up with another layer of top coat to keep everything in place and smooth the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/gaetano-pesce-bottega-veneta-artist-architect-furniture-designer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">design</a>.&nbsp;
