With it you absorb a little of the first glitter color (in this case the gel nails are closed with glitter in pink and started with red) and carefully dab it onto the bottom corner of the nail.
Then tap the red glitter and absorb the next color. Dear the pattern under the lamp. Brush the excess glitter with a brush, apply transparent gel and seal them under the lamp. Then repeat the whole thing with all other fingers. Instead of the diagonal design, you can also use a different pattern. Horizontal stripes look just as pretty.
