The Spring Orchid Nails

Hello folks!

Hope y'all are doing fine.

I have been wanting to share this nail art design from a very long time, and finally I got the chance to do it today.

I usually write posts on weekends, however I wasn't able to maintain that routine since last few weeks and thought that I should make it up for it with this post.

SO here is my new spring nail art!

NA#13


This is by far one of my most favorite looks! Its absolutely pretty and can match up with almost any attire!

I have used four colors for this look. Two shades of purple for the flowers, white polish for the base coat, a teal colored nail art pen for the leaves and branches and a top coat to secure the design.


The white shade and the top coat are from Maybelline New York Color Show range, the purple shades are from a local brand(just liked the shades so picked it up :P).


So lets get started with the design.

First paint your nails with the white polish as the base coat. This will serve as the canvas on which you will draw the flowers.

Once that is dry take some light purple polish with your dotting tool(or a ball point pin if you don't have one) and start dotting the flower petals. I have done a 5 petal flower here, but you can even choose to differ on the number of petals.


I have used the ball point pin as the dotting tool just to show you guys that, if dotted neatly, it would give the same clean design that you would get if done with a dotting tool.

Now let the flower petals dry, after that pick some dark purple polish and dot that over these light colored petals leaving some portion visible to add some depth. Let this dry too.

Now add a dot of white polish at the centre of the flowers to complete the flowers.

Now to do the leaves and branches, use the teal colored nail art pen. Use the brush that comes along with the two-way nail art pen and carefully connect the flowers. If you do not have a nail art pen then use the sharp end of a toothpick for drawing the branches. You do not need to connect all the flowers, as that would look crowded.

Once it is dry completely, secure the design with a coat of clear polish.
