Sunny Day Nail Design

The weather was really nice this past week, and in honor of spring break I decided to do a sunny day nail design.  I didn't take pictures every step of the way, but I took pictures of individual nails and will provide instructions.  Leave a comment if you have any questions!

Start by applying a base coat to each nail.  Next, apply 2 coats of light blue nail polish to each nail.  Once that has dried, use a green nail polish to create grass at the bottom of each nail.  I used a green striper to give texture to the grass (the striper and the nail polish were different greens).  The rest is all just working off of that.

To create clouds, use the tip of a white striper to make dots that touch each other in different formations.  I made anywhere from 1-3 clouds on each nail.


For the sun, just take a yellow nail polish and make a dot using a medium-large dotting tool.  I did this on both of my pointer fingers.


To make the birds, use a black striper to create a V-shape that extends farther down than you would normally make a V.


For the tree, start by using a brown nail polish to make the trunk.  Next, use a green nail polish and a dotting tool to make green dots above the trunk.  You can make the tree as big or as small as you'd like.


For the flowers, start by making the stems with a green striper.  For the tulip, I used a lavender striper to make three lines (almost like a W-shape) and then rounded out the bottom.  For the other flowers, make a small dot a little bit above the stem.  Use another color polish to make 5 dots surrounding the center dot.


Apply a top coat and you're done!
