4. Tropical Paradise Palms

Use a manicure design inspired by a palm tree to transport yourself to a verdant tropical paradise. This manicure brings a bit of exotic relaxation right at your hands by capturing the core of swaying palms and gentle breezes. To depict the beach, start with a base coat in light, sandy beige. Paint elegant, deep green palm fronds with a fine brush on three or four nails. Layer lighter and darker green tones to give the leaves depth in other dimensions. To replicate the change from shallow to deep tropical waters, mix light blue at the base into a deeper turquoise at the tips on your remaining nails. Add little white dots or thin lines to symbolise sea foam or soft waves to finish the look. This design not only looks good but it reminds me of the refreshing sensation of a light sea breeze blowing through palm branches. To symbolise the glinting sun on the water, think about adding a little gold or rose gold foil accent to one nail for an added touch of tropical gloss. To replicate water droplets or add some elegance to your island-inspired manicure, you could also include small rhinestones or pearls. Use a long-lasting top coat to guard your tropical landscape and make sure your nails stay a perfect haven of peace all through the hot summer months.
