Creating a quilted nail art design may seem challenging, but it's actually quite simple. This textured 3D design can be done using either a dental flosser or nail art striping tape.

Here's how to achieve the quilted nail art design using a dental flosser:

• Apply two to three thick coats of a base nail color.
• When the nail lacquer is semi-dry, use the flosser to make three diagonal indents on the nails, creating a quilted pattern. Apply gentle pressure.
• Ensure the design looks uniform, resembling a quilted blanket.
• To add a 3D effect, you can use silver or golden nail art beads on the connecting points of the indented lines.

• Once the base has dried properly, pour some liquid mouth wash in a container and dip your finger in it for about 30-40 seconds. Do one nail at a time!
• Take out your finger and gently press a piece of newspaper on your nail.
• Keep pressing it for a few seconds until the text from the newspaper has transferred to your nail and then pull it off.
