Spring is finally in full swing, so it’s time to break out the flirty florals and pretty pastels, even on your nails! Try out this super cute and easy pressed flower mani for a fabulous spring look:
What you’ll need:
- Nail polish remover
- Clear quick-dry nail polish
- A pastel polish (we used Essie’s “A Crewed Interest”)
- Tiny pressed flowers (we got ours at Sephora, but you can find that at craft stores)
- Tweezers
- Nail file
1. Start by cleaning your nails with a swipe of nail polish remover to remove any excess dirt. File your nails to shape if necessary.
2. Paint your nails with the pastel color of your choice, just as you would normally paint your nails.
3. Next, one by one, paint a nail with a single coat of clear nail polish.
4. While the nail is still wet, use your tweezers to carefully place a flower or two on your nail. Paint another coat of clear polish over the flower to seal it.
5. Continue steps 3 and 4 until you have decorated each finger.
6. Once your nails are dry add one more coat of clear polish over top, just to make sure all your flowers are perfectly sealed in!
