Here is a simple daisy decorated mani that dabbles in bright colors and captures the Y2k revival trend to a ‘T’. Plus, they’re easy to create with a dotting tool and steady hand on every finger.

This playful nail art is similar to its predecessor, but introduces an entirely new color palette of pastel purples, pinks, and a whisper of white. Play around with the placement of multiple flowers on a single nail for a unique design.
Gold Foiled Cherry Blossoms

Cherry Blossoms are by far some of the most delicate looking flowers. Celebrity nail artist Betina Goldstein free-handed this design and set it against a stunning gold foiled background.
Black Blooms
We’re all for a simple floral manicure that exudes elegance (especially when it’s done in an unpredictable way). This 3D floral nail design combines classic petal motifs with stems and leafs.
Mediterranean Inspiration
The color combo of this nail design can be found in patterns spotted anywhere from popular fabrics to tile designs along the Mediterranean. This particular manicure features blue flowers on the thumb, pinky, and middle finger.
Petite Rosebuds
William Shakespeare popularly used a gathering of rosebuds in his work as a symbol of young love and beauty. Juliet Capulet would have loved a manicure featuring pretty pink rosebuds on green stems like this one.
Gold Foiled Peonies
Clearly, we’re not over Goldstein’s gold foiled nails. This time, the manicurist paired pink blooming peonies on three fingers against a gilded gold background. To take her glam manicure one step further, she pairs it with two gold rings.
Bridal Bouquet
Iram Shelton, a nail artist and OPI Global Ambassador, created this 3D bridal manicure manicure using OPI’s classic off-white shade funny bunny. A white flower is placed on the thumb surrounded by a lace-inspired border.
If you don’t have the time to hand paint your floral nail design, consider opting for stylish nail decals to add some intrigue to your manicure. Shelton combined gold and silver flower decals to accomplish this look.
Pearlescent Daisies
Pearlescent chrome nails á la Bella Hadid are still as popular as ever. This elegant manicure combines a white chrome nail polish base with a simple white daisy design and a 3D gem nail decal.
“Faded” Flowers
Antique, “granny-chic” floral details are a fun way to experiment with pattern play and color. Resembling a faded floral wallpaper, this nail design features a bouquet of dusty pink roses and green leaf detailing.
Negative Space Play
Another manicure trend that’s been on the rise lately have been negative space designs. Combine the best of both worlds by recreating this manicure that has white flowers with sparkling gold leaves placed around the edges of the nail.
Strawberry Lemonade Nails
Pink and yellow happens to be one of our favorite color combinations year-round. Upgrade your classic french manicure by trading off between the two on your tips and adding some bright flowers to one finger.
Checkerboard Florals
If you’re looking for a fun twist on checkerboard print nails, try adding some flora and fauna to your manicure. Hang Nguyen shows us how it’s done with these blue and white nails featuring a checkerboard print on one nail and a flower on another.

Butter London
Signature Nail Care Kit
Customer Review: “Really love this manicure kit! It’s made at-home manis easy and luxurious! Can’t wait to fill extra compartments with more tools form Butter.”
Customer Review: “I am shocked by this product. I’ve gotten non acetone polish remover before so I was expecting this to be similar but it is far superior to anything I’ve ever used. First of all, it smells incredible. Secondly, if you follow the directions, it’s so easy to remove your nail polish and you don’t have to struggle and scrub to get it off.”
Londontown
Dot Detail Nail Art
Customer Review: “This brush is perfect for cleanup around the nail after polishing. I own many cleanup brushes and this one is the best of them all. It’s thin and sturdy, and it easily picks up any stray polish. It glides easily over my skin and works great at following the curve in a nice sweeping motion at the base of my nail bed. It’s my new favorite.”
Deborah Lippmann
Cuticle Lab – Nail Treatment Set
Customer Review: “I love this set! My cuticles have been suffering due to the weather and dry heat. The balm smells amazing and the tool is great. I was going to shell out for a manicure but I’m glad I got this instead.”
Customer Review: “I’ve tried different nail filers and none of them were as good as this. Opi’s Crystal nail file gets the job done in fewer strokes and creates a smooth edge on my nails. Almost like it’s shaping and budding the edges in one stroke. I love it so much. It’s made the job much easier!”
Customer Review: “Love these nail products…quick drying and nice quality with reasonable prices. This fan helps my nails dry even more quickly so I don’t have smudges!”
L’Occitane
Strengthening Shea Nail and Cuticle Oil
Customer Review: “I’ve used a few cuticle oils in the past and this one by far is my favorite. It’s very moisturizing and so easy to apply. My cuticles look really healthy and this just elevates my manicure. It’s so nice to just keep in my purse and touch up when my hands get so dry from washing them so much. It’s really great.”
Londontown
Conceal & Go Nail Color Set
Customer Review: “I hate going to get my nails done, and when I do my nails at home they usually end up chipping within days. so if you’re a lazy girl like me this stuff is the holy grail. This polish is so easy to apply, it goes on so smoothly and it’s actually hard to mess up. It makes your nails look like you just got a fresh manicure and it lasts a few weeks! So worth the money and the (little) time.”
