Flower Patterned Nails
Why we love these:
These nails are super simple, and classic! They don't require a high skill level or any specific tools, and the colours can be varied endlessly. For a simple, chic design that is easy to paint and wear - this is the answer!
What you need:
- Black Polish (we used Essie Licorice, buy it here)
- White Polish (we used OPI Alpine Snow, buy it here)
- Yellow Polish (we used Misa Hanging With the Girls, buy it here)
- Silver Glitter Polish (we used China Glaze Glistening Snow, buy it here)
- Base Coat and Top Coat (we used Essie, buy the top coat here, and base coat here)
What to do:
- Start with clean, dry nails. Paint each nail with a base coat.
- Paint two coats of a high shine black polish (navy blue works well too!) on each nail.
- Using the brush attached to your white nail polish lid (no separate brush required, although it may be helpful for smaller flowers) make 5 dots in a circle, and drag inward to the centre of your circle. Repeat these circles on each as many times as you can fit - we averaged about 3 flowers a nail. For a less uniform look, vary sizes of each circle.
- On top of the white areas, use a sliver/white glitter. This step can be omitted for a more plain floral pattern.
- Using yellow polish, make a small dot in the center of your white 'petals', completing your flowers.
- After ensuring your nails are dry, paint a layer of top coat (dont miss your tips!) and allow your nails to fully dry!
