Lotus Flower Spring Nails Tutorial

Looking for some spring nail inspo that you can do at home? I got you! Here’s how I did these green ombre lotus flower spring nails. Ever since I got the lotus flower nail stickers, I’ve been wanting to do a cute green and pink nail set with them. I finally got the time to do my nails, and I love how they came out.

Check out my step-by-step nail tutorial below to see how I did my nails at home!

The Nails I Used

I used the Aprés long natural almond gel-x nails to make this press on nails set. For long almond nails, I prefer the Aprés nails because they’re shaped really well. I purchased the nails here on Amazon.

As these are plain nails, I started by applying one coat of Beetles base gel and curing it under my nail lamp for 90 seconds (to prep for polish).

Green Cat-Eye Ombre Nails

For my base color, I used two coats of DND #879 Sunset Suede. Then, I used two coats of this green melon cat eye gel polish by Born Pretty to do an ombre design on the nails.

I used this nail brush for the ombre effect and this magnet to activate the cat eye design.

Gold Metallic Gel Polish & Lotus Nail Stickers

These lotus flower nail stickers that I got on SHEIN were the main inspiration for my spring nails. Before I applied them, I wiped my nails down with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free nail wipe. This helps them stick better. After applying them, I used the tip of a nail art sculpture pen to help press them down on my nails.

Also, I used gold metallic paint gel polish on a long nail art brush to outline the nails and add random designs. I also added some small gold rhinestones using builder gel (making this my last step on these nails, before top coat).

Pink Cat Eye Nails

For my pink cat eye nails, I applied two shades of a light pink gel polish by Beetles as a base. Then I used two coats of the pink holographic rainbow cat eye polish that I used to do my pink birthday nails.

My Favorite Top Coat

To finish off my nails, I applied one coat of this Gaoy top coat. I love how shiny it makes my nails, and I’ve never had an issue with it peeling, etc.

How I Make MY Press On Nails Last

I try to make sure I prep my natural nails well, to make sure my press on nails stay on as long as possible. I show how I prep my nails in my tutorial below, and you can check out this blog post for more details.
