D.I.Y. Floral Nails

Hi guys

♥

Today I'm doing another D.I.Y. but this time something more related to fashion.

The other day I was walking on the street and I saw a girl with simple, white nails. But one of them had a little glittery flower. I found it quite pretty, but I didn't liked the bling.

So I decided to create something similar, but more discrete and share it with you.

What will you need:

• Nail Polisher (duh) I had the Maybelline Mini Colorama, color number 70 or Ballerina. I also had one, in a similar color, but from Sephora. I don't know the name or the number sorry
• Flower paper. You could print them if you find some you like on the Internet. I had some giftwrapping paper that I found just perfect for this
• Scissors to cut the flowers
• I had to use tongs so the flowers would stay were I wanted, but it is optional.

First of all, select the flower you want and decided if you want flowers in all your nails or not.

When you decide the ones you want, go ahead and cut them. Try not to choose flowers with many details, because they will be harder to clip and they'll give you a hard time.

After you've organized which flower(s) you want, just paint your nails in a basic color. I've used the Sephora nail polisher because the other one was almost out and I'm kind of saving it.

If you just want a "base" for your flowers then you only need one coating. If you want something more solid and compact, I recommend two or three coatings.

Now, I waited until my nails were dry to put the flowers on top of them because I don't think it's a good idea to do it while they're still a bit wet because the polisher will come out from under the paper. So, just wait.

After it's all good and dry, place the flower and paint the nail one more time (you can use a see through nail polisher for this phase). Have in mind that where you put it is where it will stay. If you move it after you've painted it, it will look messy. Also, you may have a hard time placing the flower. I recommend bending them a little before you place them. This way, they will gain the nail shape and it will be easier.

I was actually happy with the result. They give a cheerful touch and, because the nails are still pretty simple, they aren't ridiculous. And you don't need to use flowers. You can replace them with anything from animals to words or even shoes.

My favourites are the white flower and the raspberry.

Let me know in the comments which one are your favourites and if you'll try them or not. I would love to see your nails.
