Next, use that black as a canvas and decorate your nails with small matte white dots painted in a circular group to resemble the petals of a flower. Finally, add a touch of sparkle by adding one nail-safe crystal to he middle of each flower for a contrasting matte and sparkly sure to take your nail game to a whole new level.<\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0marienails on Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Ocean tips with a clear base<\/strong><\/p>\n Get inspired by beach days and adorn your nails with a touch of the ocean! First, coat your nails with a simple primer base to achieve a shiny, clear canvas.\u00a0 Next, take a bright white color and just paint the very tips of your nails in an abstract, wave-like shape, making peaks and valleys in the space closest to the cuticle. The next step is to paint the very end of your sips in the same way you did the white with a light blue colour, and then doing the same thing again but even closer to the lip with a dark blue shade. Finish the look off by outlining the white part of the wave in black using a small brush.<\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0mpnails on Instagram<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Runway inspired tropical prints<\/strong><\/p>\n Should you have a little extra time on your hands (no pun intended), Stella McCartney\u2019s Resort 2016 collection might inspire you just as much as it did nail artist Madeline Poole. This nail art features a blood orange shade from Sally Hansen as a base and a tropical scalloped design on top. After painting the base coat, apply a dark colour in a scalloped fashion, and decorate with summery palm trees and seasonal flowers using pastels and bright greens.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
