1. Butterfly Nail Art
The late ’90s and Y2K aesthetics are making a resurgence, and butterflies are a defining emblem of that era! Quick, easy, and oh-so-fun, follow these steps to get your fingertips fluttering into the season with this butterfly nail art tutorial.
Steps to Create Butterfly Nail Art
-
Start with nail prep. Gently push back and show some love to your client’s cuticles, ensuring the nails are clean and tidy. File the nails into a chic square shape with softly rounded edges. Think of it as prepping a tiny canvas for your art.
-
Apply two coats of pinky coral polish, allowing each coat to dry completely. This shade provides the perfect backdrop for your butterfly nail design!
-
Using a thin brush and purple polish, carefully paint the butterfly. Take your time—every stroke contributes to its beautiful wings taking flight.
-
Swipe on a glossy top coat for that glassy finish. Complete the look with a drop of cuticle oil to give nails a nourished, fresh-from-the-salon sheen.
And voilà! Your client’s nails are now a fluttery ode to spring, ready to dazzle and shine. With these tips, your clients’ butterfly nails will become not just a style statement but also a conversation starter. Here’s to a season of beauty, playfulness, and whimsical touches!
2. Reverse French Manicure
A fresh and unique take on the evergreen French manicure, reverse French nail art adds a touch of elegance to your client’s spring nail look!
Steps to Create a Reverse French Manicure
-
Begin with nail prep by gently pushing back the cuticles and cleaning up any excess. Shape the nails into an almond shape for a chic silhouette that elongates the fingers. For clients with shorter nails, Gel-X or Gel builder enhancements can provide extra length without the worry of breaks.
-
Apply two coats of lilac polish, ensuring that each coat dries completely. This lovely hue truly embraces the vibrancy of spring!
-
Using a thin brush, dip into medium to dark grey polish. Start at the bottom of the nail bed, sweeping up to the edge of the nail to create that elegant swooping effect. This technique adds a modern twist and depth to spring nails.
-
Finish with a glossy top coat to provide a durable and shiny finish, and use cuticle oil to keep nails hydrated and healthy.
3. Flowers and Dots
Maximalism is making a comeback this year, allowing ample opportunities for exploration and creativity with nail art! This tutorial alternates blossoming flowers with playful polka dots for a truly spring-inspired look.
Steps to Create Flowers and Dots Nail Art
-
Start with nail prep by gently pushing back your client’s cuticles and getting rid of any excess for a clean nail bed. File the nails into a square shape with softly rounded edges for a modern yet soft look.
-
Apply two coats of clear polish as the base and let each coat dry thoroughly to ensure the design adheres well.
-
Grab a dotting tool and dip it into green polish. Dot the middle, thumb, and pinky fingers to infuse some fun, springy vibes into the manicure.
-
Using a thin brush and your choice of color, paint flowers on both the index and ring fingers. Layer another shade of polish over the first to add depth and vibrancy to the flowers. Remember to add three small dots in the center of each flower to finish the design!
-
Seal the look with a top coat for lasting shine and protection. Don’t forget the cuticle oil for that salon-fresh glow!
