With spring comes flip flops, sundresses,
and bright colors. It's time to get your fingers and toes ready with a
DIY mani/pedi. After searching for the cutest spring nail trends, we
chose three that we thought you'd love. We've simplified these designs
into easy to follow, step by step instructions.
What You Need:
-Tooth picks, small brush, or nail art pen in black
-Black Nail Polish
-White Nail Polish
-Red Nail Polish (lady bugs)
-Pastel Nail Polish (dandelions)
-Any Bright Colored Nail Polish (butterflies)
-Clear Nail Polish (Top and base coat)
**Tip: Painting a clear base coat will make your manicure last longer
Ladybug Nails
1.
Pick out a matte red nail polish-Paint the whole
nail. Apply at least 2 coats.
2.
Once the red polish dries, apply a thick black
line across the top of each nail.
3. Paint a black line down the center of your nail; Use a toothpick, thin brush, or a nail art pen.
4.
Paint little black dots on each side of the line. Let
all the black polish dry.
5.
Use white polish to paint two dots on top of the thick black line at the dip of your nail. These are the eyes (use a toothpick, thin brush, or nail art pen)!
6.
Once everything
has dried, apply a clear top coat-we like "First & Last" by China Glaze.
Dandelion Nails
1. Paint all your nails one color (we recommend a pastel color) Apply 2-3 coats. Let dry.
2. Pointer and Ring Finger: paint a thin black line from the tip to the center of your nail. These are the stems to the dandelions. (Use a toothpick, thin brush, or paint pen)
3. Use white nail polish to paint small thin lines around the top of the black line (dandelion wisps).
4. Paint little black dots on each side of the line. Let all the black polish dry.
5.
6. Once everything has dried, apply a clear top coat and let dry!
Butterfly Nails
1. What color do you want your butterflies to be? Orange? Purple? Rainbow? It’s up to you! Use this color to paint the whole nail. Let dry.
2. Apply a thick black diagonal line across the tip of your nail.
3. Using a toothpick or thin brush, paint a thin curved black line near your cuticle. This line should be on the same angle as the thick one you painted in step 2.
4.
5. Take a pure white nail polish and apply different sized dots on your black tips.
6. Once everything has dried, apply a clear top coat and let dry!
