Spring is the perfect season to try refreshing and vibrant nail designs, and these pink and green lotus flower nails really capture the essence of spring blossoms. From my personal experience, creating such a look at home is both fun and satisfying if you follow a structured process. I started with long natural almond gel extensions, which give nails an elegant and durable canvas. Using a base gel coat is crucial for the polish to adhere well and last longer. I then applied two coats of a soft sunset suede shade as the base color, which brings a warm and inviting tone. For the ombre and cat eye gel polish effects, I recommend using an ombre brush to blend colors seamlessly. The green cat eye polish with coral and pink undertones adds a captivating depth, reflecting light differently as you move your nails. One key trick I discovered for making nail stickers stick without peeling is to rub the nails down with rubbing alcohol before application. Then, pressing the stickers flat with a silicone nail tool ensures they sit perfectly smooth. Adding gold metallic paint gel polish details with a fine liner brush really elevates the design with a luxurious touch. Instead of using nail glue directly on rhinestones, I applied builder gel underneath first, which helps secure stones without extra bulkiness and looks much neater. For finishing, a high-quality top coat cures under a UV lamp to seal everything in with a shiny protective layer.
