Gingham Fruit Nail Art



I saw something similar on YouTube, but the person made strawberries and used the same color on all her nails. I decided to make a fruit salad with my nails and use different colors for each nail. I wanted to make blueberries or grapes for my index finger, but since I didn't have blue (I made these all with acrylic paint) and I thought the design already on it was nice, so I left it alone. Why don't you try it too?~ ^^ It takes a little time and patience but it's not too hard. All you have to do is:
  1. make a french manicure-style white tip. If you do not have the nail polish in  required colors, you can just use acrylic paint like I did.
  2. with your desired color, make a few horizontal stripes. then, make some vertical intersecting lines in the same color.
  3. with a slightly darker than the one you just used, make tiny little squares (or just dots if you're having difficulty doing that) where the lines intersect each other.
  4. just below the white tip, paint on your desired fruit
  5. let it dry properly, then add a top coat to ensure that your design won't wash off and will stay on longer.
