Even though a day at the spa for a manicure or pedicure can be a longed-for break from a long week, occasionally, it is more enjoyable to do your nails at home. Flower nail art may seem to be time consuming, however, with a little practice and determination, you can have a custom manicure in your most preferred colors. After mastering the basic flower, simply play around with details, colors and other designs. Below are some steps to help you do your flower nail art at home:
Step 1: Paint your nails using one solid color which is different from the flower color to make your design easy. Red on black, pink on blue or hot pink on white are all combinations that result in flowers that pop. Let the base dry up completely.
Step 2: Using a nail dotter tool or a toothpick, dab five small polish dots on your nail in a circle or star shape, using the color that you have picked for the flower petals. Let it dry up completely.
Step 3: Dab a tiny dot at the center of the circle of petals to represent the flower’s midpoint using a light or different polish color. Make the dot big enough to touch the petals or leave some space between the center dot and the petal dots.
Step 4: Allow your nails some time to dry up completely and then finish with a clear coat of polish. If need be, use either two or three thin layers to make the surface of your nails more shiny and less likely to get damaged.
