How to draw a rose on nails: design options and ways of drawing

The image of flowers can be found anywhere. Pictures are drawn from them, they are used to decorate clothes and textiles. They find their place in nail design. One of the most popular flowers, both live and painted, remains a rose. It seems that only an experienced master can draw such beauty. But this is not the case. Below we will look at the methods that you can repeat at home.

This is the easiest and most affordable way to get a beautiful and neat drawing on your own nails. I must say that in the world of nail design, the word stencil has acquired a slightly different meaning. Ordinary stickers are also called them today.

But no one bothers you to use traditional stencils. For example, you can cut it from thin film, but then blots in the drawing are not excluded. Better, probably, to visit a specialized store and buy stickers - stencils. They look very natural and beautiful. You can choose the size you want, the color and the style of the picture. Another plus is the low cost of such products. How do you use them?

There are two types of stickers - transfer and regular. In this case, the stages of application will be almost identical.

1. We do a manicure, align the nail plate and give it the desired shape.
2. Cover the nails with a base coat. It performs several functions at once: hides minor defects, protects the nail from aggressive coloring pigments of the varnish, creates an excellent basis for applying colored varnish.
3. We cover with two layers of colored varnish. If the varnish has a high coverage, then maybe one coat will be enough.
4. If the sticker is transferable, then pre-soak it in water.At this stage, it must be detached from the base and transferred to the nail. It has a minimum thickness, so the transition will be completely invisible. It's even easier with regular stickers. We cut off the desired element, disconnect it from the glue base with tweezers and apply it to the nail. In both the first and second cases, it is important to immediately correct the location. It can be done conveniently with a stick or tweezers. Make sure that no air bubbles remain under the sticker.
5. We cover the drawing with a top coat. So the drawing will be protected and will hold out on the nails for a long time.

Another way to paint a rose on your nails is using acrylic. Working with this material requires certain skills, so it will be difficult for beginners to complete it the first time. It is best, of course, to entrust this design to professionals. But if you are firmly resolved to learn how to do it yourself and you have all the necessary tools, then practice using templates first.

Any stylish manicure is not only a beautiful drawing, but also a good preparation of nails. Make a trim or hardware manicure, file the nails to the desired length and shape, degrease the surface. Only after all this, apply a transparent base. Next comes the background. The color here can be absolutely any, the main thing is that it goes well with your image as a whole.

After the base is dry or you cure it in the lamp, it's time to apply the pattern. To do this, arm yourself with a thin brush. The rose can be done in several colors at the same time. This will give the drawing volume and depth. Indeed, in nature, a flower has several shades. It's just that they blend so smoothly into one another that the color seems to be one.

Type acrylic on a brush and put a small comma in the place where the poor flower will be located. Next, repeat similar commas around the central element. With each circle, they should be more and more.

After the flower is dry, cover it with a top coat. You won't have to worry about such a drawing, since acrylic adheres firmly to the nails. The main advantage of this method is the volume of the image. At the same time, he will not give you any discomfort.

There are two main ways of doing this. The first one is called dry, the second is wet painting. Both methods can be repeated at home. The most interesting and beautiful drawings are obtained precisely with the second method, since smooth transitions and streaks are created.

Let's take a step-by-step drawing in the first way. The initial stages are no different from those that are done with any type of manicure. This is the processing of nails, creating a shape, degreasing and applying a base. Next comes the colored base or background.

To accurately draw a rose, you will need a special tool - dots. This is a metal rod with a thin end, but not sharp. We dip it in gel polish and make the already familiar comma. Then we move from the center to the edges, drawing each petal in the form of commas or arcs similar in shape, but large in size. Dry and fix with a finish.

In the variant of painting on wet, only one stage and method of drawing a drawing will change. After you dry the first coat of color gel polish, apply the second, but do not dry. Right now the drawing will be drawn. To do this, you can use various improvised or professional tools. Special thin brushes, toothpicks, needles, and even cotton swabs will do.

It takes some practice to get a beautiful drawing. Professionals hone their skills day after day, but you should first try to create a drawing on a regular sheet of paper or special templates (nails).The advantage of this method is the fact that the gel polish does not dry out on the nails and you can draw without much rush. In the case of regular varnish, this slowness can ruin everything.

Such a design requires a high level of professionalism from the performer. To create volumetric details, acrylic powder or gel is used. The master can make a blank on foil in advance, and then only glue it on the nail or immediately start sculpting on the nail plate. For beginners, of course, the first method is preferred. Even if the figure does not work, it can simply be thrown away. In this case, the manicure will not suffer. If you make a number of mistakes on the nail itself, you will have to start all over again.

If you are unsure of your own abilities, and you know that you will not be able to sculpt an aesthetic rose, then you can buy a ready-made blank in a specialized store and just glue it on your nail.

Some inaccuracies in sculpting can be corrected with a fine nozzle and apparatus. That is, the excess material can be carefully cut down or the necessary indentations and bends can be made. Quite painstaking work, but if you wish, you can learn how to perform it at a fairly high level.

To quickly create the necessary design on the nails, another method was invented, called stamping. It is based on the principle of conventional stamps. Only if in the seals we are used to, the volumetric image is already applied to the apparatus itself, then here the principle is somewhat different. Let's analyze the application technique in stages.

Special stencils for stamping have recesses in the form of the desired pattern. First, the stencil itself is painted with varnish, after which the excess from the plane is removed with a scraper. The varnish remains only in the recesses (figure). A special soft stamp is rolled over the stencil, absorbing the varnish. Now we see a drawing, but only already printed on the stamp. Then we roll it on the nail in one direction and the other. It is easy to guess that the pattern will be imprinted on the nail plate.

This method, although it seems convoluted, is actually very convenient. The only drawback is the high cost of even the simplest stamping kit.

You can visually familiarize yourself with the stamping technology by watching the video below.

If you like Chinese motives, then you can try to depict a rose in this style. For experienced craftsmen, this technique is familiar and understandable, but it will not be easy for a beginner to cope with it.

The drawing is usually done on a white or black background to highlight its unique style. Put one drop of contrasting varnishes on foil or paper. It can be black and red, pink and gray. Now type both of these colors on one brush. It's not scary if they touch each other.

As you draw the petals of an open rose, you will see that they have a smooth gradient by mixing the two shades. We have achieved this effect. Draw a flower with five petals and expand its diameter with additional circles of petals. The middle should be darker. If you look at a living rose, then it is precisely this natural color transition that it has.

Of course, it is more convenient and simpler to use special stickers, but if you yourself can repeat such a masterpiece on your nails, then every time you look at it you will experience moral and aesthetic pleasure.

There are no special restrictions and rules when choosing a background color or the color itself. The main thing is to follow a sense of proportion. After all, excessive flashiness and an abundance of drawings, rhinestones and volume can border on bad taste. It is better to give preference to restrained but elegant solutions.

For example, one voluminous black rose can give out a mysterious and interesting personality in you.And pink will let everyone know about your romantic disposition. If you can't decide on the color scheme, then look at your own wardrobe. By completing a manicure in the same palette, you will ensure the unity of the image and style.

Beautiful stickers on nails convey all the beauty of a living flower. Moreover, they look very harmonious and feminine.
