Flower Print Nails....


At this point, my nails had grown slightly, plus I was going to a party and thought I'd do my nails funky to be slightly more individual. My dress was black and my shoes purple, so I painted my nails red and this is the reason for the red dots on the flowers (plus I don't have a yellow).

For the base coat I used a lovely peachy orange colour as I thought this would allow the flowers to pop and again I didn't have a vast enough nail polish collection to own a natural colour.


1. Apply a neutral shade under coat
2. Wait for this to dry then apply a second layer if necessary
3. After this layer has dried, using a small paint brush a white nail polish attempt the paint flowers onto your nails by placing a blob of polish and then spreading it with the brush.
4. Repeat this in a random pattern along your nails if the flowers are different sizes it doesn't matter they'll look good in the end
5.On each flower either using a dotting tool or the end of a hair pin, dab a blob of nail polish in any colour or in red like mine
6. Then use a a top coat to seil the design onto the nail

TIP: have a cotton pad with nail polish remover on it to clean your brush and stop it from becoming clogged up making it difficult to create the design

I like to do simple designs for people to create who have only just got into nail art,
similar to me but don't know how to start.Any questions, don't hesitate to ask,
Happy Nail Arting!
