1. Paint the nail with two coats of maroon polish. Wait for the polish to become tacky. 2. Press your client’s finger into the middle of the nail. Allow the print to dry completely. 3. Using gold “rub and buff” paste (available at any art supply store), lightly rub the paste over the fingerprint using your finger. 4. Rub the edges of the nail with the gold paste for an unfinished look. Allow the paste to dry and apply top coat.
