Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Before you get started, make sure you have all the necessary supplies on hand. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Red matte nail polish
  • Green matte nail polish
  • Base coat
  • Top coat
  • Nail polish remover
  • Nail file
  • Cuticle pusher
  • Cotton pads

Step 2: Prep Your Nails

Start by removing any old nail polish and shaping your nails with a file. Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles and create a clean canvas for your new manicure.

Step 3: Apply Base Coat

Before applying your red and green matte nail polish, it’s important to apply a base coat to protect your nails and help the color adhere better. Let the base coat dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 4: Paint Your Nails

Once your base coat is dry, it’s time to apply the red matte nail polish to half of each nail. You can use nail tape to create a clean line if you prefer, or carefully paint freehand for a more natural look. Let the red polish dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Now, apply the green matte nail polish to the other half of each nail, creating a striking contrast with the red. Again, you can use nail tape for a clean line or freehand for a more natural look. Let the green polish dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 5: Apply Top Coat

To finish off your red and green matte nails, apply a top coat to seal in the color and add a glossy finish. This will also help your manicure last longer and prevent chipping. Allow the top coat to dry completely before moving on to the final step.

Step 6: Clean Up

After your top coat is dry, use a cotton pad and nail polish remover to clean up any excess polish around your nails. This will give your manicure a polished and professional look.
