Beach-Inspired Nail Art: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

Embrace the beach vibes with a stunning seaside-inspired nail art design! In our latest tutorial, we guide you through creating a beautiful beach scene on your nails, perfect for any ocean lover. This design uses a blend of soft blues and whites to mimic the tranquil waves and foamy surf of the sea.

Starting with the Sand Colour

To begin, apply two layers of "Oolong Tea" a favourite nude shade, to the nails. This serves as the perfect sandy base. Ensure the nail surface is properly buffed before applying the polish, and cure each layer under a lamp.

Creating the Sea Base

Next, introduce the sea by using colours from the jelly range. Start with "Blue Raspberry" at the top half of the nail, followed by "Mirtillo" just below it. This creates a gentle transition of blue hues. For added depth, apply a bit of "Ocean Ridge" at the bottom, completing the gradient. Use an ombré brush to blend these colours seamlessly, taking advantage of the jelly range's transparent nature for easy mixing.

Adding the Foam Base

To simulate the look of foamy waves, mix a base coat with "Snow White" to create a milky white. Apply this mixture over the blue section of the nail using a 3D brush or gel brush. This layer forms the foundation for the foam effect, giving the design a more realistic appearance.

Creating the Top Coat Droplets

While the white layer is still wet, use a dotting tool to add drops of top coat onto the milky white. This technique creates a bubble effect, reminiscent of sea foam, as the top coat pushes the white towards the edges. This step is crucial for achieving the illusion of bubbles on the water surface.

Final Touches: Waves and Bubbles

For the finishing touches, add more details to mimic the waves. Use a detailing brush to apply "Snow White" in random sections, creating the appearance of wave crests. To enhance the bubble effect, use a mixture of soap and water to create bubbles and apply them directly onto the wet nail surface. Once applied, cure the nail under a lamp and then wipe off any residue.

Sealing the Design

Seal in your beach-inspired nail art with a layer of Urban Graffiti top coat. This step encapsulates all the details and ensures a long-lasting, glossy finish. The final result is a stunning beach scene on your nails, perfect for summer or whenever you want to carry a piece of the ocean with you.

Final Thoughts

This beach-inspired nail art is not only visually stunning but also relatively simple to achieve with the right tools and techniques. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced nail artist, this design is a fun and creative way to express your love for the sea.
