📝 Instructions: Crafting Your Sunflower Ombre Nails
This design requires a smooth ombre base and careful detail work for the sunflowers and bees.
- Prep Nails: Clean, file, and apply a base coat. Cure if using gel.
- Create Ombre Base:
- Paint a thin stripe of yellow polish and a thin stripe of orange polish side-by-side on a makeup sponge.
- Gently dab the sponge onto the nail, moving it up and down to blend the colors and create the gradient. Repeat this process 2-3 times, letting each layer dry or curing in between, until the color is opaque.
- Draw Sunflowers & Bees:
- On the selected accent nails, use a fine nail art brush and dark brown polish to create the sunflower center.
- Using a fine brush and yellow polish, paint small petals around the center.
- Use a fine brush and black or dark polish to draw small bees or place 3D bee charms/decals onto the nails.
- Seal: Apply a glossy top coat over the entire design for brilliant shine and protection. Cure thoroughly.
- Finish: Cleanse any sticky residue. Apply cuticle oil.
