DIY Tropical Fruit Manicure
Total Time: 45 Minutes
Supplies
Nail Polish in Five Colors (Yellow, Coral, Light Pink, Hot Pink and Red-Orange)
Nail Art Pens in Black and Green
Nail Charms (Purchased ours locally but similar here!)
Nail Glue
Clear Top Coat
Directions
1. For the yellow pineapple nail: Paint your nail yellow and let dry completely. Draw diagonal lines across the nail with a black nail art pen. Then draw them the other way, diagonally, across the nail. Let dry and top with top coat.
2. For the leaf pattern nail: Paint your nail coral and top with top coat. Let dry completely. Place a bead of nail glue on the back of each leaf, one at a time, and glue in a random pattern on the nail.
3. For the watermelon nail: Paint your nail hot pink and let dry completely. Draw tear drop shapes with a black nail art pen randomly all over the nail. Let dry and top with top coat.
4. For the pineapple leaves nail: Paint your nail light pink and let dry completely. Use a green nail art pen to draw leaves coming up from the bottom of the nail. Let dry and top with top coat.
5. For the citrus nail: Paint your nail red-orange and top with top coat. Let dry completely. Place a bead of glue on the back of each citrus slice, one at a time, and glue in a random pattern on the nail.
Since Palm Breeze is all about hangin’ with your girls, and so are we (duh!), here are a few quick tips for throwing a mani party:
- Have each girl bring 2-3 of her favorite nail polish colors. That way you can all try new shades and share the mani love!
- As the host, provide nail art pens and cute nail charms for everyone to use. Don’t forget the nail glue!
- Place cotton balls and cotton swabs in cute containers alongside polish remove for you guests who still need to remove their polish!
- Keep the snacks and sips colorful and light! We’re all about the perfect cheese plate, fruity candy and tropical drinks, like Palm Breeze’s Pineapple Mandarin Orange!
- Have a selection of cute glasses and drink stirrers available to instantly jazz up an ordinary girl’s night!
- Put on the perfect playlist. Here’s one of our faves!

Looks great, but the only manicure we can do today is some augmented reality nails 😀 Is there any app like Cosmia AR https://skywell.software/portfolio/cosmia-makeup-ar-app/ but for nails?
