Spring Green Leaf Nail Art & Tutorial

 

 

Hello everyone! As everything has started to turn green again outside, I thought I would do a fun spring green manicure today! I photographed the steps so you too can have a mini garden on your nails if you desire.

You will need:

-A variety of green nail polishes and white nail polish
-Toothpicks or dotting tools
-Small nail art brushes
-Clear topcoat

 

 

I used a spare plastic scraper as a palette for my different greens.

 

I started each sprig with a thin swish.

 

Then I layered fronds onto my little fern branches with more small swoops, as usual with my nail tutorials, perfection is not necessary!

 

Add another layer of fronds in a different shade of green.

 

To make easy petals or leaves, use a slightly thicker brush and just gently press it down to achieve the simple shape. By using a more transparent nail polish you can get an almost variegated leaf look.

 

For the final touches I added clusters of white dots with a toothpick. You could also do yellow or pink dots, they will look like tiny flowers!

 

Fini! That's all folks, add topcoat and you are finished!
