Tropical Fingertips Nail Tutorial!

First, prepare your nails. Then, apply a coat of the light blue nail polish. Sponge on the cornflower nail polish with a makeup sponge from the halfway down the nail to the nail tip to create the first layer of ombrè. Top off your ombrè effect with a periwinkle shade again with the sponge. Prepare to create some palm leaves with a straw. To create the palm leaf shapes, cut away half of the width of a drinking straw. Then, apply black nail polish over the curved tip. Draw on the palm tree leaves. Press the tip of the straw onto your nail gently and create three fronds on each side, making sure the curved lines are smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. You can place the cluster wherever you’d like your palm tree to be on your nail. Cut your straw even thinner to create the trunk of the palm tree. Dip the strip of straw in the black polish. Paint a line from the palm tree leaves to the tip of the nail. It’s OK if it’s not perfectly straight as palm tree trunks are slightly curved in shape anyway. Finish off with top coat and you’re done!
