Love having funky nail designs and want to try your hand at doing them yourself? This week, Reme created a set that’s fresh, fruity, and seriously juicy - a 3D orange slice that looks good enough to squeeze. Zesty, vibrant, and glossy, this design is a playful way to bring a pop of citrus to your nails.
We’ve put together a fun step-by-step tutorial so you can recreate Reme’s orange-inspired look at home using Naio Nails and Urban Graffiti products.
The products you’ll need
Step 1. Base and prep
-
Prep your nails as usual by pushing back cuticles and gently buffing the nail surface.
-
Apply your base colour - Reme chose Valencia Orange for that bright citrus pop. Cure under the lamp.
Step 2. Building the 3D orange slice
-
Use Clear As Day Builder In A Bottle to sculpt raised wedge sections on the nail where your orange slices will be.
-
Cure and repeat if you want extra dimension. These raised areas will give your fruit that realistic 3D look.
Step 3. Adding juicy colour
-
With your Resin Palette, mix Valencia Orange and Blazed Orange for a vibrant, natural blend.
-
Using your Detail Brush, paint inside the 3D wedge shapes, blending the two shades to mimic the juicy pulp of an orange.
-
Cure to lock in the colour.
Step 4. Defining the slices
-
With Snow White and a Detail Brush, outline the wedge sections to create the pith of the orange.
-
Use your Dotting Tool to add small white dots or highlights to make the design pop even more.
-
Cure once you’re happy with the detailing.
Step 5. Seal and shine
-
Apply a layer of Urban Graffiti Top Coat to seal the design and give it that glossy, just-squeezed shine.
-
Cure under the lamp for a flawless finish.
The final reveal
The result? A set of nails that look like you’ve captured a slice of summer 🍊 The combination of bright orange tones, 3D wedges, and glossy shine makes these nails feel juicy, fun, and full of energy - perfect for anyone craving a fruity twist to their nail game.
