For a manicure that’s both artistic and ocean-inspired, try a Katsushika Hokusai-inspired wave french tip. Paint your nails in a soft, milky white base to mimic the crest of a wave. On one or two accent nails, use a fine detailing brush and a gradient of blues to recreate the iconic Great Wave’s swirling form. Don’t be afraid to add a touch of white at the tips for a foamy effect, mimicking the wave’s breaking peak. Finish with a glossy top coat to make your Hokusai wave french tips truly stand out and capture the power and beauty of the ocean.

Finish with a glossy top coat to enhance the depth and dimension of your blue marble nails, making them look like tiny swirling oceans on your fingertips.
