Why this worksNail art is all about creativity, but it doesn't have to be time-consuming. Quick designs can be achieved using simple techniques like dotting, striping, and layering. Understanding colour combinations and basic patterns can also help you create stunning looks that are perfect for the season.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Base Colour Start with a light or pastel base coat to set the tone for spring. Apply two coats for an even finish, ensuring you let each layer dry before moving on.
  2. Add Floral Accents Using a dotting tool or a fine brush, create simple floral designs. Think small dots for petals and a tiny dot in the centre for the flower's heart. Get creative with colours!
  3. Incorporate Stripes or Geometric Shapes Use nail tape or a striping brush to add stripes or geometric shapes in contrasting colours. This adds a chic touch without requiring too much precision.
  4. Finish with Top Coat Seal your design with a clear top coat to add shine and longevity. This also helps to smooth out any uneven surfaces from your nail art.

Where people go wrong

One common mistake is rushing the drying process, which can smudge your design. Another is skipping the base coat, which can lead to uneven colour application. Lastly, using too many colours can make the design look chaotic instead of chic.

The pro moveFor a unique twist, try layering different designs on each nail, like flowers on one and stripes on another for an eclectic look.
