Hi my beautiful starlights!!

 

Today, I am going to show you my take of a Spring Garden on nails. I always envision a spring garden is filled with beautiful green grass, flowers, ladybugs and birds and this is exactly what I recreated on my nails. It is super simple like the other tutorials, and all you need is dotting tools and some toothpicks and you are ready to go. Now let’s get started:

Step 1: Apply your favourite base coat (Natural Nail Base Coat by OPI) to protect your natural nail.

Step 2: Apply 2 coats of Beige (Don’t Pretzel my Buttons by OPI) on all fingers except for the ring finger. And apply 2 coats of Magenta (Crazy for Chic by L’Oreal) on your ring finger.

Step 3: Dip a toothpick into green polish and use a flicking motion to create grass at the bottom of all the nails except for ring finger.

Step 4: Dip your large dotting tool into a Magenta (Crazy for Chic by L’Oreal) polish and create 5 dots to make a daisy. (For more details on making a daisy, you can check out my Marc Jacob Daisy Inspired Tutorial). Also, use a yellow (Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen) polish to dot the centre of the daisy. Do the same thing on the middle finger.

Step 5: Use a large dotting tool dip in a red polish (Red Cherry by Sally Hansen) to draw an oval to create the body of the lady bug. Do the same thing on the middle finger.

Step 6: Use the smallest dotting tool dip in black (Black Out by Sally Hansen) polish to create the head of the lady and create black dots on the body of the lady bug.

Step 7: Dip your toothpick in black (Black Out by Sally Hansen) to create legs for the ladybug. Also, use the same toothpick to create black dots as tracks.
