Spring/Summer, Step by Step
Lecenté educator, Kimberly Johnstone of Lillie Beau Nail Salon, serves up this spring-inspired floral nail design, complete with bees over a speckled base.
Step 1
Apply your base colour, cure then matte top coat and cure.
Step 2
Apply your first larger flower then cure.
Step 3
Add a second larger flower using a different colour then cure.
Step 4
Fill in some gaps with smaller flowers, closing up gaps and layering up giving an effect of depth, curing between applications.
Step 5
Fill in spaces with branches and leaves to pull your design together and cure.
Step 6
Using a dotting tool, draw an elongated yellow oval shape to create the bee's body. Add two white dots and drag to the body to create the wings. Cure.
Step 7
Apply stripes on the bee's body with a thin detailing brush. Use a small dotting tool for the eye. Cure.
Step 8
Use various size dotting tools to apply dots to tie in the design then cure. Apply matte top coat to complete the design and cure.
