Every year about this time, Japanese weather services and media follow the so called “cherry blossom front”, as sakura blossom season comes to Japan. From late March to mid-April sakura flowers cover the country with a soft pink blanket. Mesmerizing view, if only I could see it in rl… Well, for now I did a sakura nail design :)
This time I didn’t paint anything, I simply used sakura nail decals, so yes, you can say that I cheated :D Tho I admit I liked the result never the less. The water decals were easy to apply, and I needed just a couple of minutes to do this cheery blossom look with a Japanese pagoda on my accent nails.
For the background I used my favorite white creme OPI Alpine Snow (3 coats), and I sponged some pale pink over it to make the background more airy and ‘alive’.
The products I needed for the sakura blossom nails:
- Clear base
- OPI Alpine Snow – pure white creme nail polish
- Essie Need a vacation – light pink creme
- Japanese sakura water decals
- Clear top
As always, thank you for looking! See you soon ♥
