Pineapple Nails

Pineapple Nails

We've been having some nice weather recently and for some reason it made me think of pineapples! So i decided to do some pineapple nail art :) Here's how i did it:

Equipment I used:

- Barry M basecoat/topcoat/nail hardener (no. 54)
- Barry M Pink Flamingo (no. 305)
- Barry M Lemon Ice Cream (no. 307)
- Barry M Emerald Green (no. 284)
- Barry M Mushroom (no. 310)
- Thin nail art brushes


Step 1:

Apply a basecoat and when dry use two coats of your Barry M Pink Flamingo for the base colour.

Step 2:

Using the normal brush in the polish, create an oval shape near the tip of your nail using Barry M Lemon Ice Cream. This will form the body of the pineapple. I just did this on my thumbs and ring fingers, however you can do it on as many nails as you like!

Step 3:

Take your thin nail art brush or a cocktail stick and your Barry M Emerald Green polish and draw a straight line from the top of the pineapple to form the middle leaf. Then draw curved lines around the top of the pineapple for the rest of the leaves.

Step 4:

Using a different nail art brush and your Barry M Mushroom polish create a criss-cross pattern on the body of the pineapple.

Step 5:

To finish this summery look add a topcoat, this will help your design last for longer as well as adding a bit of a shine to your nails! :D
