Strawberry Nail Art Tutorial

Summer is almost here, and what better way to celebrate the arrival of spring than through nail art? I eat a ton of strawberries during the spring and summer months and I thought this would be a cute retro look. (Disclaimer,  I am in no way shape or form a professional nail technician, but find nail art to be a ton of fun!)

Here is what you'll need:
  • Red Nail Polish; mine is by Sinful Colors Professional in "Ruby Ruby" another good Red Polish is Revlon's "Cherry's in the Snow"
  • Mint Nail Polish; I have Maybelline New York's Color Show Nail Enamel in "Green with Envy"
  • An Emerald or a darker Green Polish; I have Sinful Colors Professional in "Rise and Shine"
  • White Nail Polish; Sinful Colors Professional in "#1 Snow me White"
  • A Top Coat Polish
 You do not have to use what I use. All of these are just suggestions. If you have similar colors lying around, then grab those instead of going out and buying new polishes.

The first thing you will want to do is to paint all of your nails red.

Once the first coat is on, go ahead and paint the mint on the upper 3rd of your nail, and then paint the emerald over the mint to where only a small line of mint is exposed.
Now grab your white and with a light hand, carefully paint small, white dots on the red only to create the illusion that there are seeds.

Finally, you will add your top coat to add shine and to set everything so that your polish will not chip as easily.
And that is it!!!
You now have a really fun and retro look for the summer!!! You could also replace the red with pink and make the seeds black to create watermelon nail art! The most important thing is that you are enjoying yourself and that you are playing with color and having a fun, creative time!!!
