Weekend Nails: Sunflower nails

I'll be accompanying my little bro this Saturday in his school field trip. I decided to do my nails earlier than when i i regular do it for i know that i'll be busy this Friday making bento for both of us. I want a nail design that would look fun & bright so i just decided to make sunflower nails since sunflower is a bright & lovely flower!


This is not that hard to do. If you are not used to using nail polish in doing details on your nails acrylics are a much safer option since you can easily wash it off.... which reminds me... i need to get a couple of tubes of acrylics tomorrow when i go shopping.

Anyway, let's start with the tutorial...

Things needed:
  • base/top coat
  • green polish
  • yellow polish/acrylic
  • black polish/acrylic
  • golden brown polish/acrylic
  • detailing brush
  • dotting tool/hairpin
Instructions:
  • Start with clean nails then apply base coat & also the green base color.

  •  Apply half circles on the edges of the nail like so. Let it dry.


  •  Using yellow polish/acrylic make small petals on the side of the circle. I tried to do a diamond shape but since my hands are a bit shaky so it ends up with a not-so-diamond-like shape,,, but it's ok..


  • Then  put a black line on the edge of the circle to have a more define shape.


  • Put random dots on the brown circle. Apply top coat to make it last longer.


Dekimashita~!
We're done!



There ya go!
Hope you'll be able to try out this design especially now that it's almost winter time. This will give you a hint of warmth just by looking at it!

Hope y'all have a good day,ladies!
Jaa~
