How to draw flowers on nails: we disassemble step by step

When the question arises about an original and feminine manicure, many girls think about which theme to choose for design. You can dwell on the latest trends or prefer the good old classics. Flowers on nails are a constant pattern of new collections in every season. Where can we go without them, because the subjects of the drawings are varied and multifaceted, they can be used in a variety of situations. And even a novice craftswoman will be able to bring to life a drawing she likes in a plant theme.

To create a beautiful nail design, you can use stencils, stamping, or even ready-made stickers. But if you want to create not only relevant and bright, but also a unique design, then you should apply hand painting. Creating a drawing using this technique is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. You will need a minimum of funds: two varnishes in contrasting colors, a finishing fixing coating and the tool itself. For painting, you can use a professional brush or dots.

In the absence of the possibility of acquiring them, you can use a needle, a toothpick (or a hairpin instead of a dots). First, you should practice creating the simplest points, curls and lines. From them you can draw monograms, petals and other more complex shapes. You can train on paper and on tips, smoothly transitioning to real nails. Simple drawings in a well-chosen color scheme look no less advantageous than complex professional painting.

First you need to choose the type of drawing. You can create a pattern of forget-me-nots or gorgeous roses on your nails, paint delicate tulips or bright sunflowers. The choice of colors is huge, so it is not difficult to find a design to your taste and a style solution. The most general recommendations of the masters say that it is better to choose small, uncomplicated patterns for short nails (for example, repeating motifs like on fabric or wallpaper). Large exotic flowers look better on nails of medium length or long: 1-2 pieces per finger. Moreover, it is preferable to make a pattern not on all marigolds, but only on accent ones.

We draw forget-me-nots.

• Apply the base coat as a background. It can be, for example, pink, white or light yellow. It will take 2 layers, each of which is made thin and carefully dried separately.
• To create a pattern, we use a dots or hairpin for hair with thickened round ends. Put some blue paint on the tip and put 4 dots side by side. We make several such blanks of flowers on the surface of the nail.

• When the petals are dry, put 1 point in the center of each with yellow paint. These will be the middle.
• Draw the petals in green. We also make them from a point. You will need to take a little more paint to draw a point into a piece of paper.
• To create additional volume of the image, you can walk with milk varnish over the petals or leaves, making highlights. Rhinestones can also serve as an additional decoration.
• Let the design dry well and apply a layer of clear top coat on top.

With the advent of gel polish, the possibilities for creating a creative manicure on their own have grown significantly. Gel polishes not only have a huge base of color variations, but are also persistent. With proper adherence to the application technology, the coating will last for 2-3 weeks. You will also need a UV lamp to create a unique nail pattern at home.

According to professionals, gel polish is even easier to work with than ordinary varnish - it has an optimal consistency. You can create patterns both on a dried surface and on a wet layer. This unique product allows you to use a variety of techniques to create an effective finish. Every season, nail art masters release new collections and create fresh ideas that you can implement yourself at home.

A popular combination of patterns with floral motifs made on the basis of gel polish, with other techniques. It can be a gradient, rhinestone decoration and glitter addition. Often completely opposite techniques are combined in manicure: extravagant and gentle, feminine. Try one of the popular patterns - roses with gel polish. You will need at least 2 colors. The most impressive combination of white and pink, black and red, indigo and fuchsia looks.

We draw roses.

• So, the marigolds are well-groomed, degreased and covered with a gel polish base. This option usually has a denser texture. Therefore, one or two layers will be enough to create the background of the pattern. We make them as thin and as possible each separately under the lamp for at least 3 minutes.
• Some people think that for better drawing, you need to remove the sticky layer from the varnish. Others do not recommend doing this. It is best to paint with the thinnest brush (size 00). It allows you to create the finest details and transitions. Although you can use dots for a start, since the drawing is supposed to be uncomplicated and without unnecessary details.
• We take a little gel polish on a brush or other tool, put a point in the center of the future flower and make a tail out of it to the side, like a comma.

• Draw the next "comma" a little larger next to it. We place them around the first in one or different directions. We get the petals of a dissolved flower.
• We put another small dot in the center of the rose with varnish of the same color and glue a golden, red or transparent rhinestone on it. You can have a couple at once.
• Draw the same smaller rose next to it. Dry the drawing under a lamp for 3-4 minutes. You can add some sheer shimmery glitter to the petals.
• We firmly fix the pattern with a top and dry it under an ultraviolet lamp. Remove the sticky layer from the gel polish with a cleanser. The fashionable rose pattern is ready.

Drawing on gel polish can be created with acrylic paints. This is especially recommended for beginners. A good way is that a crooked or incorrectly made drawing can be easily washed off with water and corrected to the desired result. There are thousands of colors and shades of such materials. It is not necessary to use special materials for manicure for work. Ordinary stationery paints are fine.

Ready-made paints in the package are thick, so they will have to be diluted. You don't have to buy several different jars to get a lighter tone in the same color. Just use a versatile white. By adding it in different quantities to the desired tone, you can get different color intensities. Acrylic paints are used for many different types of manicure. They paint the base of the strip on a jacket. It turns out a very delicate non-trivial design of the usual coating for every day. They also paint strange tropical flowers of the most fantastic shades. You can also create a delicate manicure for the bride using acrylic paints.

Volumetric 3D manicure is very popular lately. Nail design strives for realism. This is facilitated by images on various subjects, which seem to be about to "jump" from the nails. Flowers are most often done using this technique. They can be complemented with "dew drops", crystals and other decorative elements.

This manicure looks very impressive. Despite this, not only professionals can create it. To perform volumetric colors at home, you will need a small or medium-sized dots, a special gel, and a lamp for polymerization. It is advisable that the hands are dexterous, because all movements will have to be done quickly. The material sets in the air almost instantly. The volumetric pattern looks great on long to medium length nails. It is allowed to use this technique on short nail plates. In this case, the volumetric elements are selected small in size. Not all fingers are decorated with them, but only a couple of accent nails.

A 3D pattern is applied over the dried base coat with gel polish. Each element is made and dried separately. A small amount of a substance is taken from a jar of dots gel and a small ball rolls down with your fingers. A rounded petal with a pointed end is already forming from it. With the tip, it is glued to the nail plate. Several such petals are made. The middle is decorated with strasses. On the sheets themselves, accent painting is often done to match the main color, so that the figures are even more naturalistic and voluminous.

To begin with, you should learn how to make elementary drawings from simple shapes: dots, lines, curls. You can practice drawing first on paper, then on plastic nails, gradually moving on to your own. Choose an uncomplicated but original design. You can add something of your own to the design - such a manicure will look even more impressive. You can start the first drawings on a regular varnish. They are often made with a needle or toothpick, which produces thicker lines. With the advent of experience, you can begin to work with a brush.For a start, it is not necessary to buy all the professional tools and materials. A couple of high-quality tools, like a brush and a dots, will be enough, and the rest should be replaced with improvised means.

What is definitely not worth saving on is the coatings themselves. It is not necessary to choose the most expensive professional gel polishes, but they should be of high quality. The lamp can be selected the most common low power. We'll have to spend a little more time drying. But the appearance of the future manicure will depend on the high-quality varnish of the desired consistency. Some newbies complain that they do everything according to the scheme, but the result does not turn out as expected. This happens when coatings of the wrong density are used for a particular type of design or several types of coatings from different manufacturers are used in the same manicure: for example, varnishes, cleaners, base and top.
