Hello everyone! Sorry it has been a while since I posted anything, it was a busy month of February. Anyways who is tired of all this cold weather and is ready for spring? Well unless you live somewhere warm, I have heard that it has been hot in some places all ready, all I know is the weather has been crazy everywhere! So I thought for all of use that are tired of the cold weather we could use some nice pretty flower nail art that we can put on our nails.
Here are the nail art tools and polishes used to crate this pretty spring flower nail design:
Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat.
Polishes- OPI- Hello Kitty- Look at My Bow, Sally Hansen- Color Therapy- Mauve Mantra, China Glaze- Shades of Paradise-Boujee Board, Orly- Kell's Galaxy Trio- Kelli's Moondust, Orly-Melting Point- Alloy Matey, and Holo Taco- Chrome Collection- Trophy Life.
Nail art tools- Thin striper and linear brushes and a small dotting tool.
Other- Nail polish remover/ acetone and water to clean off your nail art brushes.
Apply a top coat to clean dry nails. Let that dry.
Polish-
Thumb, index, middle and pinky finger nails- a light pink cream polish.
Ring finger nail- a rosy pink cream polish.
Let that dry.
This is a simple design (at least that is what I think ☺️)
For each nail you can put as may flowers as you would like, some of them I put two or three it kind of depend on your nail length or if you want a lot of flower or not.
First we will start off with making the petals, you can use the three colors that I used a purple (Orly- Alloy Matey) and lighter purple (Orly- Kelli's Moondust) and a light pink toned purple (China Glaze- Boujee Board.) Take one of the colors on a linear brush, then for example if you want to make your first flower (like on the index nail) make a oval shape near the tip of the nail, fill that in, make two more oval shapes on the side of the first one you made and then fill those petals in.
For each nail repeat this last step, you can make the flowers bigger or smaller, a whole flower or just a half.
Lastly for the final touch the gold leaves or steams. Take a thin striper brush with a gold foil polish (Holo Taco-Trophy Life) and from part of your flower make some lines that can look like steams for leaves. You can also make a few line on other random parts of the nails as well.
Once your flowers are spring ready, apply a top coat to add some shine and to help your nails to last.
