Strawberry Nail Art Tutorial

Hello Everyone!
I have another nail art tutorial today, trying something more summery. If you've seen my Nail Instagram you'll have seen the little summery patterns I have been trying out, if not you can view it here :)
Anyway as you've seen from the title, today's tutorial is this big strawberry.

Here's what you'll need:

- Yellow nail varnish (Maybelline Colour Show in 749 Electric Yellow)
- Green nail varnish (Barry M in Spring Green)
- Red nail varnish (NYC Quick Dry Nail Polish in Madison Avenue)
- Lilac nail varnish (Miss Sporty Quick Dry Clubbing Colours in 344)
- White nail varnish (Sinful Colours in Snow Me White, BUT they are discontinuing the range :()
- Small paintbrush 
- Small dotting tool

Start off with a lilac base, I chose lilac as it's a very summery colour, supposedly 'vivacious orchid' is this year's 'in' colour? and because it really contrasts with the red. 
You could use what ever colour you like, pale blue also looks nice.
Using the little paintbrush and the white, map out the strawberry shape with the leaves at the top and fill it in.

Using the red, fill in the strawberry part, making the top almost heart shaped. 
You could use the little paintbrush, a big dotting tool or just the brush that comes with the nail varnish to do this.

Using the green and a dotting tool or little paintbrush, fill in the leaves.


Using the yellow and the little dotting tool, add dots to look like seeds

The seeds might require two coats to make the yellow really pop.


Once everything is dry, top coat it to seal the design and help it last longer.




And you're done!




(It bothers me that you can't resize the text boxes!)

Super easy and very summery, I think this would work well as an accent nail!
I would love to see your recreations so if you give them a go, tag me in them or use the hashtag #nailartnut or #abibailey


I also have a watermelon tutorial that I'm planning on putting up in the middle of the week so look out for that! 

Otherwise I shall see you next time,
thanks for reading,
