“Floral nail art will be everywhere this SS24,” says A-list Manicurist, and Senior Mylee Ambassador, Tinu Bello, who counts Sandra Oh, Anne-Marie, and Holly Willoughby as her clients. “It’s sunny, uplifting and happy, and sparks a lot of joy. Floral nail art does what it says on the tin. It’s the placement of hand-painted, or sticker flowers on top of your colour, or natural nail. It can be a floral border at the cuticle or tip of your nail, or it can be one lone flower, or a spattering of them adorning your mani. The look is customisable to your own preferences, which is why I love it!”
To create the trend at-home Bello has these tips: “Opt for a nude or sheer pink based and then using a dotting tool like Mylee Dotting Tool (£5) create five dots in a circle and add a different colour dot in the middle.” To give it the 2024 update you need to add a fine brush and drag the dots outward into more of a petal shape. “If you don’t have a dotting tool to hand, grab a bobby pin and use the end to dip into your polish to create dots. If you’re a novice with nail art, try with creating the look with floral stickers first, as it is so much easier to rectify any mishaps. When you become more confident, you can start to experiment with hand painting.”
