さくら Cherry Blossom Tutorial

さくら Cherry Blossom Tutorial

The colors you need

This nail art design was inspired by this Japanese woodblock print- the branches of your trees can be modeled off the picture itself if you want but I usually flip it around so the stroke order is more comfortable

Tutorial

1) Paint your nails with a base coat of clear polish then put a light pink over it

2) Use a thin brush with black on it to paint branches

3) Put dots of pink sparkle next to the "branches" you painted

4) Paint some hot pink and white dots next to/on the pink sparkles- use a Q-tip to blot it so it looks more like flowers

5) Make sure it's dry then apply a top coat
*If you messed up really badly then take the white or the pink and with a tiny brush paint some flowers on the left bottom and right corner of the nail design to make it look more like cherry blossoms.

Finished look!

Alternatives

- Another alternative is to paint the base coat an off white frosting color or a shiny pearl (Tokyo Pearl by Sinful Colors is excellent)  however most people say they like the pink base coat best ^_^
-To make this nail style even easier just forget about hot pink and white and use the pink sparkles (this will look especially good with the pearl base if you chose that)
