Simple Rose Nail Art ft. Sally Hansen Pure + Floral Instagram Collab

Hello Polished Peeps! I am so excited to share today’s mani with you. This is one of my favorites I’ve created recently! This was also part of yet another huge collab over on Instagram, so I’ll also show you the collage. Here’s a look at my mani…

I love the simplicity and the colors of this design. It turned out so cute! I definitely want to wear this again sometime in the summer. I ended up using all four polishes from the Sally Hansen [good. kind. pure.] Seaside Escape Collection. So, here’s the collage, list of polishes, and a step-by-step for the design. Enjoy!

Nail art tutorial:

Step 1: After base coat, apply two coats of a light blue polish to all of your nails. Let dry for 2-5 minutes.

Step 2: On a piece of scrap packaging, a square of foil, or a plastic bag, put a few drops of pink polish and a few dots of coral polish side-by-side. Using a detailing nail art brush, dotting tool, or toothpick, swirl the two colors together slightly.

Step 3: Once your base color is dry, from the swirled section of the polishes, make one small “rose-like” shape on one corner of each nail by gently stippling your tool up and down. Go back in for either color if you’d like to add more contrast.

Step 4: Once the rose shapes have dried, add a blotch or two of coral to the centers of each one.

Step 5: Using a light green polish and the same tool, add one or two leaves to the edge of each rose. A dash of color will do if you don’t want to get too detailed!

Step 6: After letting your designs dry for 2-7 minutes, apply top coat to protect your design. Let this dry fully and your mani is complete!
