Do Strawberry Nail Art
Strawberry nail art is one way to add the pretty sweetness of the strawberry to your fashion look. Perfect for those who love the delightful redness of the strawberry, these nails will have people looking twice! It's an easy design, requiring only a little patience and the basic nail tools.
Steps
- Put on a base coat to protect and strengthen your nails. This will also help your nail polish stay on longer. Wait for the nail polish to dry before moving on to the next step.
- Paint your nails red. Use a strawberry red colour, just as you would do regularly. Wait for your nails to dry before moving on.
- Paint the strawberry leaves white first. Paint the outline of a row of about 4 or 5 triangles in white polish at the base of your nail. Then, fill in the triangles with the white polish. The reason that you paint the leaves in white first is to make the green absolutely pop.
- Paint the strawberry leaves green. Trace over the white leaves with the green nail polish. Then fill in the design as in the previous step.
- Paint the seeds. Using yellow nail polish, dip a toothpick into the nail polish. Draw small seed dots on your nail, spacing them out fairly evenly (keep it as neat as possible).
- Finish off with a top coat. Wait until your nails are completely dry so as not to smudge the design. Then paint over the whole design with a top coat to seal it and to make it nice and shiny.
- Finished. Match your clothes in similar colours and you're all set to show off your strawberry nails.
Tips
- Allow the coats to dry before adding the next coat.
- Do not press too hard with the toothpick, or it will just scrape off your nail varnish.
