Tutorial 1: Classic Mountain Peak Nails
Start by shaping your nails into a pointed oval shape. File gently and evenly until you achieve your desired Mountain Peak shape.
Apply a clear base coat to your nails and let it dry completely.
Choose your favorite nail polish color and paint your nails. Start at the base and carefully paint towards the tip, following the natural curve of your Mountain Peak.
Allow the first coat to dry, and then apply a second coat for a more vibrant color.
Once the polish is dry, apply a clear top coat to seal in your beautiful Mountain Peak nails.
Tutorial 2: Gradient Mountain Peak Nails
Begin by shaping your nails into the mountain peak shape as explained in Tutorial 1.
Apply a clear base coat and let it dry.
For this gradient look, choose two or more nail polish colors that complement each other.
Paint your nails with the lightest color as your base.
Using a makeup sponge, dab a bit of the second color near the tip of your nail. Gently blend the colors by tapping the sponge lightly on your nail until you achieve a smooth gradient effect.
If necessary, repeat the process with a third color for added depth.
Once you’re satisfied with the gradient, apply a clear top coat to finish.
Tutorial 3: Glittery Mountain Peak Nails
Shape your nails into the mountain peak style.
Apply a clear base coat for protection.
Choose a glitter nail polish or loose glitter in your favorite color.
Paint your nails with the glitter polish or, if you’re using loose glitter, dip a small brush into clear nail polish and then into the glitter.
Apply it in a gradual manner towards the tip of your nails to create a sparkling mountain peak effect.
Allow the glitter to dry and then seal the look with a clear top coat.
Tutorial 4: French Manicure with a Twist
Start by shaping your nails into mountain peak.
Apply a clear base coat and let it dry.
Instead of the traditional white tips of a French manicure, opt for a color that contrasts nicely with your natural nail color. Paint a straight line across the tips of your nails, creating a crisp mountain peak edge.
Allow the tip color to dry completely, and then apply a sheer or nude polish to the rest of your nails.
Finish off with a clear top coat to protect your design.
Tutorial 5: Matte Mountain Peak Nails
Shape your nails into Mountain Peak.
Apply a clear base coat to protect your nails.
Choose any nail polish color you like and paint your nails with it.
Once the polish is dry, apply a matte top coat to give your mountain peak nails a chic, velvety finish.
Voilà! You’ve just mastered five different mountain peak nail tutorials.
