Tropical Palm Leafs Nails

The tropical palm leaf design has become really popular. I really like this design on cushion covers and other home decor products. Tropical designs also tend to flood clothing stores as soon as warm weather comes. It's colorful and very much summery. I wanted to recreate this design on the nails as it seemed really easy to make and it is.


For the base I chose and off white shade, because it looked the most neutral to use with all the green shades. You could also use a pink base and make it more colorful. 


I decided on using three different greens to create different colored leafs. I chose a very light almost lime green shade, a true dark green and a petroleum green to give it some more dimension. Then I used a striping brush and drew two lines to mark where the leafs will be. I started drawing the leafs by creating different colored strokes. It's really easy to make and looks good without too much effort. In fact, if you're not great at drawing and you make it more messy, it will just look more artistic. 


I let the design dry down and then I went over it with a high shine top coat to seal in the design and make it look more even.  





This is one of the rare summery design that isn't too colorful and it's actually quite wearable. It's also fairly easy to recreate as you don't need to be as precise.
