The spring season is in full bloom, and it’s the perfect time to bring out the pastels and florals to welcome the sunnier days. Instead of sticking to the traditional floral mani, why not elevate your nail game with a touch of whimsy? Adorning soft pastel pink French tips with rhinestones and fun 3D flower charms is the epitome of spring style.

Not only does this 3D flower nail art make the prettiest pairing for spring outfits, but it’s also a simple design that you can easily adjust. Want to make it more minimal? Try this look with just rhinestones or a single flower. Going for a bold statement? Pile on the flower charms or go with a bright color for the French tips. The beauty of this design lies in its versatility, so let your creativity bloom and customize this nail design to suit your style and mood.

Ready to try one of the season’s biggest nail art trends? Follow these simple steps to recreate these 3D floral nails at home:

3D Flower Nail Art

Shop the Look: Angelic Flirtation Ivory Lace Sleeveless Corset Top, Blissful Nature Blush Pink Satin Lace High-Rise Midi Skirt, Flawless Essential Light Blue Denim Crossbody Bag,  Adorably Trendy Gold Herringbone Chain Bow Earring

Supplies:

  • Sheer neutral gel base shade
  • UV lamp (for curing)
  • Light pink gel polish
  • Thin nail art brush
  • Glossy gel top coat
  • Gem picker tool or tweezers
  • Rhinestone glue
  • Small flower nail art charms
  • Small rhinestones
  • Cuticle oil

Instructions:

1. Begin by prepping your nails for flawless application. Remove any dry skin from the nail beds, gently push back the cuticles, and wipe your nail plate clean and free of residue.

2. Apply 1-2 coats of a sheer neutral gel base shade and cure under the UV lamp.

3. Using a thin nail art brush, delicately create a French tip with light pink gel polish on each nail. Cure once again under the UV lamp.

4. Now, it’s time to add the embellishments. You have two options:

    • Apply a layer of glossy gel top coat (without curing) and carefully place the flower charms and rhinestones onto the nails using a gem picker tool or tweezers. Once satisfied with the arrangement, cure under the UV lamp to set.
    • For a more durable application, I suggest using rhinestone glue to adhere the charms and rhinestones. Apply a small amount of glue to the desired areas using a small brush or dotting tool, then gently place the charms and gems. Adjust as needed and cure once happy with the placement.

5. Then apply a glossy top coat, ensuring not to cover the rhinestones to maintain their sparkle. Cure under the UV lamp for a lasting finish.

6. Lastly, apply cuticle oil.
