Ensure they are clean, dry, and free from any oils. Push back the cuticles and remove any excess skin from the nail beds for a smooth application.<\/li>\n<li>Apply 1-2 coats of a neutral gel base shade on your pointer and middle finger, and the cream shade on the remaining nails. Cure under a UV lamp.<\/li>\n<li>Create French tips on your pointer and middle finger using the cream shade and pale pink, respectively.<\/li>\n<li>Using the pale yellow gel polish, outline lemon shapes on your pointer and middle fingers. Fill in the shapes and cure.<\/li>\n<li>Add depth to the lemons by shading one end with the deepest yellow shade. Blend it into the pale yellow using the next shade up. Cure once satisfied.<\/li>\n<li>Use the deep green polish and a liner brush to draw curving vines from each lemon towards the top of the nail. Add leaves along the vine, overlapping the lemons. Cure.<\/li>\n<li>For the final touch, create small white flowers along the vines. Use a small brush and white gel polish for the petals, then add a dot of yellow polish at the center. Cure.<\/li>\n<li>On the remaining nails with a cream base, draw vertical pink stripes using the liner nail art brush and pale pink shade. Cure.<\/li>\n<li>Apply a glossy top coat to all nails and cure. Finish with cuticle oil for added nourishment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With these lemon-inspired nails, you&#8217;ll be ready to embrace the summer sunshine in style, whether you&#8217;re jetting off to Italy or simply soaking up the sun at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you try this Amalficore nail design?
