Nail Art Tutorial: Spring Florals

Springtime is synonymous with florals. Every season, we bust them out in full force. It just feels right! This spring, why not try florals in your mani?

We were inspired by the flower power nail art we've seen around the blogosphere. So we decided to try out our own based on this manicure.

Pansies are definitely one of the friendliest flower, so we figured a manicure featuring this pretty floral motif was in order.

Here's what we used:

Oh My Gosh Nail Lacquer in 007 Apple Green

Rimmel London 60 Seconds Nail Polish in 710 Sunny Days

Sally Hansen hard As Nails Xtreme Nail Colour in 481 Breezy Blue (For the base, feel free to switch it up to any other colour you'd like)

Quo by Orly Nail Polish in French White

Sephora by OPI Nail Colour in Hell to the No

Other: Dotting tool, small and thin paint brush

How to:

1. Paint your base colour.

2. Use the dotting tool and make two small dots in purple side by side.

3. Again with the dotting tool, make four white dots in a cross shape.

4. In the middle of the white dots, add some purple and streak it out with a small paintbrush

5. Add a dot of yellow in the middle and if you'd like, accent your pansies with a few polka dots.

6. Finished product!

How sweet, easy and fun is that? Would you try this manicure?

I need to pick up a few more colors before I can try this, but I sure would like to give it a try. Nice job ladies, thanks for showing us how to do this at home.
