How to Create Strawberry Nails

Paint nails pink or red, add tiny black dots with a dotting tool, and finish with green leaves at the cuticle.

1. Prep the base. Apply base coat and let dry completely. Paint nails with a soft pink or coral red polish in two thin coats. This becomes your strawberry flesh.
2. Add the seeds. Use a small dotting tool or toothpick dipped in black polish to create tiny dots scattered across each nail. Keep them small and irregular like real strawberry seeds.
3. Create the leaves. At the cuticle area, paint small green triangular shapes using a thin brush or nail art pen. Make them slightly uneven and overlapping for a natural leaf effect.
4. Seal everything. Once completely dry, apply a clear top coat to protect the design and add shine. The top coat prevents the small details from chipping off.
