Here’s a step-by-step breakdown so you can recreate Meg’s look at home using Naio Nails and Urban Graffiti products.

The products you’ll need

Step 1. Base and prep

1. Start with a Natural Beige Acrylic Powder base for strength and coverage.

2. Apply Flower Girl as the base colour across the set. Cure.

Step 2. French tips and base colours

• Ring finger: Use Burlesque to paint a French tip. Don’t worry about it being too neat - it will be topped with a 3D flower.

• Middle finger: Apply Sour Cherry as the French tip to form the base of a shell-inspired design.

• Thumb and pinky: Paint Cherry Blossom as the full base colour.

Step 3. Shell design

1. Use Snow White and Cherry Blossom on your Resin Palette.

2. Use a brush to paint rough horizontal lines on the middle finger’s French tip, blending as you go to mimic shell ridges.

3. Airbrush or sponge Sour Cherry over the French tips for extra depth.

Step 4. Creating the 3D flower

1. Sculpt a flower on the ring finger using Marshmallow Cream AcryGel. Cure.

2. Paint over the petals with Cherry Blossom to add colour.

3. Airbrush Sour Cherry into the centre of the flower for shading and depth.

Step 5. Aura effect and details

1. On one nail, create an aura base using Bath Bomb, blending outward for a soft, glowing look.

2. Add fine details over the airbrushed French tip with Sour Cherry.

3. Enhance the 3D flower with additional painted highlights and shadows using your Fine Detail Brush.

Step 6. 3D accents and shell lines

1. Add raised details to the thumb and pinky using Clear As Day Builder Gel.

2. Use the builder gel to refine the shell lines on the middle finger. Cure.

Step 7. Adding decals

Apply Metallic Nail Art Decals - Island, placing a starfish in the centre of the design and adding small gold accents to tie the set together.

Step 8. Seal and finish

1. Apply a generous coat of Urban Graffiti Top Coat to protect the details and add shine.

2. Finish with cuticle oil for hydration and a polished look.

The final reveal

This set combines delicate 3D flowers, soft aura blends, and shell-inspired accents for a rich, romantic design. With pops of pink, red, and metallic gold, Meg’s nails feel elegant, vibrant, and full of dimension — the perfect way to bring a floral fantasy to life 🌸✨
