You’ll need:

matte studded

1x black polish
2 top coats (a matte one and a glossy one)
1x dotting tool or the end of a brush or a toothpick

Step 1
Start off with a jetblack polish. Mine is from Maybelline.

Step 2
To achieve the matte effect you’re going to need a mattifying topcoat. I use one by Essie and couldn’t be happier with the results. However, you can get cheaper alternatives at the drugstore.

Step 3
Once your nails have dried down, pour a couple of drops of your glossy topcoat on a surface and start working with your dotting tool or toothpick. One stud needs several layers of polish.

Step 4
Place your studs on your dried nails and decide how thick you want them to be. The more coats you do, the better the 3D effect will look.
