Spring has definitely sprung, which means your manicures may have shifted from dark, moody winter colours to colourful and bright floral designs. Sunflower nails are among the rising nail trends that have graced our Instagram feeds as the weather warms up and floral everything begins to bloom in abundance — especially in our bookmarked posts tabs.
The trend is truly for everyone, from nail-art aficionados with the patience and level hand to paint sunflower designs exactly to your liking to anyone who’s looking for a quick and easy stick-and-go recommendation. Whether you’re into nail minimalism, abstract designs, or intricate details that are so realistic it looks like the sunflowers are popping off the nailbed, these nail-art ideas will surely get noticed (and complimented) time and time again.
Ahead, you will find nail artists’ and nail content creators’ go-to product recommendations on how to create your very own sunflower nails this season. Think of it as a little sprinkle of inspiration for your next manicure — pollination, if you will.
Complex designs and unsteady hands (which are all too common for those of us who aren’t manicurists) don’t make for the best combination — or outcome — when it comes to creating nail art on your own fingernails. Thankfully, there is another option aside from painting, and that’s stick-on nail art.
Nail brands such as ManiMe and Dashing Diva are two of our personal favourite nail sticker and wrap brands that take away the frustration of hand-drawing trendy designs. Take nail content creator @polished_yogi and her past collaboration with ManiMe for example. While these stick-on gel strips seen above on her almond-shaped nails are no longer available, press ons do make for an easy, hassle-free manicure option.
Whether you’re sticking a design on one accent nail or going all out with one on each digit, you can browse an array of floral designs on Manime.co for a flawless outcome. If you’re set on a sunflower design specifically, we recommend these Artsy Sister Sunflower Nail Stickers.
