• pinking sheers • red nail polish • green nail polish
• a nail art pen (or black nail polish and a toothpick) • top coat • scotch tape
1 // Paint your nails red!
2 // After the base coat is dry cut ten strips of tape using your pinking sheers. Firmly apply one piece per nail.
3 // Apply the green polish on the area you left un-taped for the leaves.
4 // Gently, and slowly pull of the tape. I find my nails turn out best if I take the tape off immediately after painting instead of waiting until my whole hand is done.
5 // Using your nail art pen or a tooth pick and black nail polish randomly place polka dots on your nails
6 // After everything is dry, add a top coat! My current favorite is Essie Good to Go, it dries so so so fast!
7 // Enjoy!!!
It’s very easy, just make sure to have patience and take your time.
Make sure to leave me a link if you decide to try on your nails! 😉

That is absolutely gorgeous!
Can you believe I do not really own a true red nail polish? I know, it's every woman's basic. I do have a metalic one and just got one that's more towards neon. So I could still make strawberries yay!
Blue Eyed Night Owl, ha! That's my only red. I'm not a real big red nail polish gal, I prefer blues and purples.
What a cute idea!!
So cute! I did your last tutorial so I am sure I will be trying this one as well. Love it… Sea Marie
This DIY is so adorable! Love it!
I looooooove them, Kaylah!! 😀
I was thinking of doing a watermelon look with tape, using pink instead of red and a darker green

These are awesome. Also, you could do a curve rather than a jagged line and it would be watermelon!
So cute! I love strawberries! Thanks for the tutorial! 🙂
