Why this worksFloral designs and bright colours instantly uplift your mood, reflecting the lively energy of spring. The contrast of vivid hues with delicate flowers creates an eye-catching look, while also allowing for personal expression. Plus, the right techniques ensure your designs are long-lasting and vibrant.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Base Colour Start with a bright base polish that complements your floral design. Think vibrant pinks, sunny yellows, or sky blues for that fresh spring vibe.
  2. Create Floral Patterns Use a fine nail art brush or dotting tool to paint flowers. Daisies, tulips, or simple petals work well. Keep the designs varied for a playful look.
  3. Add Details Once your flowers are dry, add details like leaves or dots to enhance the design. A contrasting colour for these details makes your floral patterns pop.
  4. Seal with Topcoat Finish with a glossy or matte topcoat to protect your design and add shine. A quick-dry topcoat can be a lifesaver for those on-the-go.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the base coat, which can lead to chipping. Others rush the drying time, smudging their designs. Not using a topcoat can also dull the colours and leave your art vulnerable to damage.

The pro moveExperiment with negative space by leaving parts of your nail unpainted for a trendy twist.
