Picture Tutorial: Cherry Nail Art

Hey everyone,
today I want to show you a nail art design that I think is really cute :) I'm not wearing it yet, because I still have China Glaze's Grape Pop on my nails *click*, but I'll be doing this really soon, too.
That's what you need:
- a base coat of your choice (I'm using Essence's Pro White French)
- a white nail polish (I used Essence Stampy polish in white)
- a cherry red polish (I used Essie Limited Addiction)
- a medium green polish (I used China Glaze Starboard)
- a dotting tool or toothpick (I used Essence's Nail Art Stylist)
- a top coat of your choice (I'm trying out Essence's Studio Nails Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer)

That's how to do it:
1. Use your base coat all over your nails.
2. Paint all of your nails with a white color, this may take a few coats. You can of course use a different color!

3. Take your tool and do pairs of red dots on your nails.

4. Use the green and the tool to create the cherry's stem. You can make them upside-down, turned to either side or anything you like.
5. This step is optional, I think it looks better with it, but you can skip this, too. Take the white polish and make little dots inside the cherries, to show some kind of highlight.
6. Add a top coat to prevent chipping.
It's really easy, also for beginners, and looks so cute! I can't wait to do this on my own nails! Here *click* you can see Cutepolish's video on this design.
Do you like it? Will you maybe even try it out?
I'll see you soon!
xoxo, Misch
