Supplies You'll Need

  • Bright Coral Gel Polish

  • Gold Metallic Gel Paint or Chrome Powder
  • Fine Detail Nail Art Brush
  • Gel Base & Top Coat
  • LED/UV Curing Lamp

How To Recreate It

  1. Prep nails by shaping, buffing, and applying a base coat, then cure under LED/UV lamp.
  2. Apply two thin coats of bright coral gel polish, curing each layer thoroughly.
  3. Using a fine detail brush and white gel polish, carefully paint the palm tree trunks and fronds on accent nails.
  4. With a dotting tool or small brush, create a small gold sun design, potentially adding rays, on another accent nail using gold metallic gel paint.
  5. Seal the entire design with a high-gloss top coat, ensuring full coverage, and cure one last time for a durable finish.

Expert Tip

For perfectly crisp white palm tree lines, ensure your white gel polish is not too thick. If it's too opaque, thin it slightly with a gel mixing medium to allow for smoother, finer details. Practice on a nail tip first!

Try These Variations

  • Alternate the coral with a gradient sunset base (orange to pink) for a different 'summer' sky effect.
  • Instead of a full palm tree, use a single, delicate white palm leaf on each accent nail for a minimalist tropical look.
  • Replace the gold sun with tiny, scattered gold glitter or holographic flakes to simulate sparkling ocean waves.

Aftercare Tips

  • Keep your nails moisturized with a quality cuticle oil daily to prevent dryness around the design.
  • Refrain from picking or peeling at the polish, as this can damage your natural nail.
  • Schedule a professional infill or removal within 2-3 weeks to maintain nail health and appearance.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently buff off the top layer of the top coat to break the seal.
  • 2.Soak nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes (using cotton balls and foil wraps).
  • 3.Carefully push off the softened gel with a wooden cuticle stick, avoiding harsh scraping.

Daily Maintenance

  • 💅Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent chipping, especially with intricate designs.
  • 💅Regularly apply cuticle oil to keep your nails and cuticles hydrated, extending the life of your manicure.
  • 💅Wear gloves when doing household chores or gardening to protect your nail art from harsh chemicals and physical damage.

Common Issues & Fixes

  • Smudged lines: Ensure each layer, especially your white detailing, is fully cured before moving on. Use thin coats.
  • Chipping around edges: Wrap your top coat thoroughly around the free edge of each nail to seal it completely.
  • Gold fading: If using chrome powder, ensure a no-wipe top coat is used before application, and a strong top coat is applied after.
  • Uneven coral color: Apply several very thin coats of coral, curing each one, rather than one thick coat.

Design Inspiration

This design draws inspiration from breathtaking tropical sunsets, the warm glow of the sun on a clear beach day, and the iconic silhouettes of palm trees swaying against a vibrant sky. It's a celebration of all things sunny and serene, perfect for a lively 'Summer Nail Art' look.

FAQs

How long will this design last?

With proper application and aftercare, this gel design typically lasts 2-3 weeks without chipping or fading.

Can I get this design on shorter nails?

Absolutely! The palm tree and sun elements can be scaled down or simplified to fit beautifully on shorter nails, or even be applied to just one accent nail.

Is the gold detail actually shiny?

Yes! We use metallic gel paint or fine gold chrome powder to ensure your sun details truly sparkle and reflect light, adding that extra bit of glam.

Can I do this design at home?

While possible for experienced DIYers with the right tools (detail brush, gel polishes, UV lamp), the intricate palm trees and sun often require a steady hand and professional skill for the best results.

What if I don't want a full palm tree?

No problem! We can customize the design to feature just a few palm fronds, or even abstract tropical leaves, maintaining the vibrant summer vibe without the full tree.

Will the coral color fade in the sun?

Gel polish is highly resistant to fading. Your vibrant coral base will stay bright throughout your summer adventures, protected by a high-quality top coat.
