Nail Art: Spring-Inspired Colors & Tribal Prints

“As colorful flowers continue to bloom and passing rain clouds leave a bold and shiny topcoat of glistening water in their wake, we let the natural beauty of Spring influence our style.

This week’s manicure pulls us into the season with an eye-catching ensemble of rich red, Persian blue, and a smooth, shiny cream. Alternating base colors and the addition of a simple strip of square-shaped, bronze-colored bling on each of the blue and red nails highlight the natural beauty and effortlessness of the look. The cream-colored nails feature bold, black lines laid out in patterns reminiscent of Aztec tribal prints, and juxtapose brilliantly with the minimally adorned colored ones.

An easy look to throw together, this manicure adds a dash of tribal-art-infused-Spring to your daily ensemble, and promises to turn heads!” (Written by Hina K.)

For This Manicure I Used:
Essie “Rock Solid,” Sephora by OPI “IM Beauty,” Sephora by OPI “High Maintenance,” Nail Polish by H&M “Blue My Mind,” Stripe Rite in Black, Sally Hansen Mega Shine Top Coat.

Always start any nail polish application with clean and filed nails.

Apply one coat of “Rock Solid” (base coat).

Apply 2-3 coats of your base colors.

Using the black nail polish and detail brush, paint the tribal prints.

Apply one streak of base coat to the center of your nail. Then using a dotting tool, pick up one stone at a time and place it on your nail.

Seal everything in with a coat of Sally Hansen’s top coat and your manicure is complete.
