Lovely Red Tulips Manicures
We are featuring a unique tulip manicure from Jin Soon Choi, founder of the JINsoon Nail Lacquer line and Jin Soon Hand & Foot Spas in NYC.
Creating the Tulip Manicure
- File and shape your nails to a natural square shape.
- Apply a base coat like JINsoon Power Coat.
- Apply JINsoon Dolly Pink on the entire nail bed.
- With a thin brush, create the tulip petals with JINsoon Cherry Berry. Starting at the cuticle area, draw a straight line down towards the tip of the nail, curving left ¾ of the way down to create an arch and then fill in the shape. Repeat on the right side of the same nail to create a mirroring shape.
- Apply top coat like JINsoon Top Gloss for a lasting glossy finish.

“Tip-Toe Thru’ The Tulips With Me”
By the window, that is where I’ll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with meOh, tiptoe from the garden
By the garden of the willow tree
And tiptoe through the tulips with meKnee deep in flowers we’ll stray
We’ll keep the showers away
And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight
Will you pardon me?

These are so attractive, both in design and in color shades. I wish my nails were half as pretty as yours.
Kimberly Harbour says
This is such a cute pattern! I want to try it! Let’s see if I have the patience!
carla bonesteel says
I’ve done this a few times on my nails. I love the look with black and grey polish!
Janet W. says
The tulip design is amazing! I’d love to do this to my nails! So pretty!
Amber Ludwig says
Ooh this is so cute!! But that song is just creepy lol!! I’m pretty sure they played that in the horror movie the hills have eyes!!
M.Clark says
This Tulip Nail Art is something I haven’t seen before, I’d love to give it a try. Thank you for sharing this post.
Karen Glatt says
The Tiny Tim Song is so funny. I always laugh when I see it!! I love the Tulip manicure! It is so gorgeous and the pale pink with dark red is so pretty together. I want to try this!
Sarah Hayes says
what a neat design! Id love this for spring. so many color combo options too
Margaret Franks Duncan says
I like the tulips,would look nice in many colors.
Sherry Compton says
This really dresses up and brings attention to your nails. So many people could pull off this look, but I can see a “Pinterest” fail in my future. I have enough trouble painting my nails one color. The design looks easy….haha. My daughter might be able to.
Elle says
I remember Tiny Tim too. That was a long time ago. I don’t generally do my nails because I end up with a mess.
My husband has been painting my toenails lately. Because my mom said if I’m gonna wear sandals my nails needed to be painted.
I went for green. She wasn’t happy. So I changed to purple. She likes that better but not a lot.
It does make her laugh. Which was a big part of why I did it. I’ll have to post some pics of my toes sometime..
Shelley Zurek says
I only want to see toe posts if they are GREEN girl! Shelley
Elle says
Lol. Well then. I’ll do em up in green again and send you a pic someday.
Just remember. You asked for it :p
Carol Cassara says
I can’t believe you took us to Tiny Tim, oh how I remember him! I never knew what to make of him when I was younger.
Shelley Zurek says
Tiny TIm is a bit of a nervous Nellie isn’t he?
Cathy Chester says
This would look hysterical on me since I am NOT artistic and can’t even draw a straight line with my left hand. But I’m sure it looks great on you!
Shelley Zurek says
Drawing a straight line is not my talent either Cathy! The Chief Blonde
Pam@over50feeling40 says
This looks really cool…though I probably would not do it myself and the Tiny Tim memory was hysterical…still surprised he got the air time he did. But the manicure is a fun one!
Shelley Zurek says
Tiny Tim always seems to make me laugh. I just can’t hear tulips without thinking of him!
Karen Sandoval says
my lines would be so wonky. very pretty.
Shelley Zurek says
I know! I think they get the line precision using a tape of some kind. The CHief Blonde
