Flower nail designs remain a go-to for many, especially in spring. “Flowers are delicate and beautiful, so it’s no surprise that people love them around their house, on their clothing, or as nail art,” says celebrity nail artist Betina Goldstein. “As we see flowers blooming around us in nature, I believe it inspires us to embrace spring.”
“Floral designs are easy to DIY at home,” agrees celebrity nail artist Queenie Nguyen. “It’s also easy to request in salons, with the versatility of many colour combinations.”
Goldstein likes drawing her favourite flowers – peonies, tulips, or poppies – for her designs and opts for classic spring colours such as pink, lavender, yellow or pops of green. Though she likes to keep it simple and focus the art solely on the florals, Nguyen says you can also mix and match with other trends, for something fun and unexpected.
“Pairing daisies with French tips is so cute – and extremely popular in spring every year,” she says. “[So are] ombré, aura, chrome and 3D-moulded flowers with rhinestones or pearls.”
If you’re having a go yourself, Nguyen recommends having a dotting tool and a good painting brush to draw on your flowers. Goldstein concurs, and suggests her Doublemoss Arte brushes, which come in different bristle lengths and angles depending on what kind of detail you need. She adds that a nail polish with strong pigment, like the Chanel Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour, will help with achieving vibrant and crisp colours.
