Cancer Zodiac Sign Nail Design: A Step-by-Step Tutorial 🦀✨

In this blog post we will show you how you can create a creative and eye-catching nail design in the style of the zodiac sign Cancer. The design is inspired by an aquarium and is complemented by cute details such as a crab, starfish, pearls and shells. Let's get started right away!

🔍 Preparing the nail design

Before we start the actual design, it is important to do some preparation. Make sure you have the right materials on hand:

  • Long Nail Tips
  • Yellow glitter
  • Baby beer
  • Semicircular discs (e.g. made of plastic)
  • Starfish, pearls and shells for decoration

🛠️ Step 1: Prepare nail tips

For our aquarium design we use the longest nail tips we have. First we separate the bottom side of a nail tip and stick it under our natural nail. This will be the base for our aquarium.

💧 Step 2: Fill the aquarium

Now comes the exciting part: we add the tank by filling it with yellow glitter. The glitter will simulate the water and give the design a sparkling effect. The little crab will be the resident of our aquarium!

🐚 Step 3: Add the crab

After preparing the aquarium, we put the little crab in it. It will be the highlight of our design. Now we fill the tank with baby oil to enhance the impression of water.

🏖️ Step 4: Decorate other nails

While the tank is being prepared we can decorate the other nails. Here we design a beach with starfish, pearls and shells. These elements complement the maritime theme perfectly.

✨ Step 5: Complete the design

To beautify the aquarium even further, we add some additional decorations. On top of the tank we place the Cancer zodiac sign. Finally, we seal the entire design with a glossy top coat.
