Why choose a palm tree manicure?
A palm tree manicure is an excellent choice for those who want to stand out in the crowd. This pattern attracts attention and adds a bit of holiday ease to any style. It seems that a palm on the nails is more than just an ornament – it’s a symbol of relaxation, travel, and carefree spirit. It’s also a way to express your dream of adventures in exotic places.
Moreover, palm nails are extremely versatile. They can be worn both daily and for special occasions. Depending on the chosen color scheme, they can match a summer beach outfit or an elegant dress for an evening out.
Step by step: How to create an exotic palm tree manicure?
Nail preparation
Before we start painting, we must properly prepare the nails. This is a crucial step that will ensure the durability of our manicure. First, thoroughly clean the nails of any old polish residue. Then shape them as desired using a file. Finally, it’s worth applying a nail conditioner to strengthen the plate.
Choosing colors
One of the most exciting stages is choosing colors. For a truly tropical effect, it’s worth opting for bright, vibrant colors like turquoise, cobalt, lime, or coral. For contrast, it’s best to paint the palms with black polish, which stands out perfectly against the colorful nails.
Painting the background
We start by applying a base coat to protect our nails from discoloration. Then, we apply the chosen background color. We can use one color on all nails or combine several, creating an ombre effect that will add depth to our style.
Painting the palms
For this stage, we will need a thin brush or a special decoration pen. With gentle movements, we paint the palm contours, starting with the trunk and then adding the leaves. If we’re worried about a shaky hand, we can first sketch the pattern with a nail pencil and then correct it with polish.
Finishing
Finally, to keep our exotic manicure fresh for longer, we apply a top coat. This will protect the pattern from wear and add a shiny finish to the nails.
Inspiration and trends
Currently, many variations on palm patterns reign in the world of manicure. Some prefer minimalism, painting one subtle palm on a neutral background. Others go for more elaborate compositions, adding elements like the sun, beach, or even flamingos.
If you’re looking for inspiration, it’s worth checking platforms like Pinterest or Instagram, where you’ll find plenty of ideas for creative palm nails. Or maybe you have your own unique ideas for tropical manicure? What is your favorite version of palm nails?
