But if you want something more similar to what Jennifer Lopez wore to her wedding, The person responsible for the diva’s nails, Tom Bachik, shared the complete step-by-step guide to achieving the effect on the American Glamor website. Check out:
Step 1
Firstly, Milky nails must have a gradient effect that goes from nude to white. So, creating this effect may be a little more difficult than it seems, but it is possible to do at home.
To do this, apply the nude nail polish on the edge of a makeup sponge and the white nail polish below. This way, the two nail polishes will create a gradient effect. Then, press the sponge onto your nails.
Step 2
Then, with another clean makeup sponge, apply only the white nail polish and press it onto the tip of the nail, to reinforce the white tone. The idea here is to make the tip of the nail whiter and an almost transparent nude tone towards the cuticle.
Step 3
Once this is done, wait a while for the nail polish to dry and only then clean the corners of the nail that may have had nail polish on it. To finish, use a glitter or glitter on top and it’s ready.
