Want a spring-forward look that you can customize endlessly? You need daisy nails, the manicure that takes simple, delicate blooms to new creative heights! Whether you want a daisy chain twist on French tips, a porcelain-inspired super elegant design or a stand-out feature nail in a solid mani, the options are endless. The simple, easy-to-accomplish daisy design has a recognizable and clean-looking final product. And while this look is popular no matter the season, these nails are absolutely perfect to welcome spring flowers and better weather.
The Daisy Design
If you're on team DIY, you know that some nail trends aren't so easy to get at home. Thankfully, that's not the case with daisy nails. With just a dot tool—like this one from Londontown ($12)—and a thin detail brush, like this one from Mini Macron ($10), you can easily accomplish this look on your own! In your color of choice, just lay down five dots on your nail in a pentagon shape. Then, use the liner brush to pull the polish toward the center of your shape to create the petals.
Finally, using a different shade of polish, bring back out your dot tool to create the center of your flower. With a bit of practice, you'll be able to paint daisies in all different sizes, including itty-bitty. That will allow you to go for some more complex looks, like a chain of flowers along a French tip.
