Small lemons on middle and ring finger nail

For the small lemons, take a small detail brush with yellow paint on it and make a few ovals or football shapes on the nails, and some of the lemons you can make just half of them on the sides of the nail. You will need to go over your lemons a few time to be opqaue.

For the leaves take that same brush with green paint on it and make two small thick lines on your lemons for the leaves. Then makes some random leaf shapes on some of the blank spots around the nail.

For the final touch to your lemons add three small dot on the top part of the lemons.

Lemon slice on the thumb nail

Next we will create a lemon slice on the thumb nail. Take a thin stripper brush with white paint on it and make a half circle on the side of the nail, make sure to make this line thick.

Then we will make slices in the lemon, once again take that same stripper brush with white paint on it and make three thick lines for your slices.

Lastly for a small detail make a few small lines coming from the sides of your lemon.

Once you have your lemon nail design the way you like, apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it to last.
