Hello to you all, I will show you the tutorial of this nail art.
These are roses. It is the first time that I am doing this design.
It is made of several layers as well as some detailed designs on the side.
So I'll let you watch the video.
So, here's the design that I did first
I wanted to try the design and since I really liked it
I decided to do it on shorter nails.
First I've applied the black nail polish base
and then, I applied an acrylic black base for the cling of the brush.
If your try to draw directly on the nail polish, it is slippy hence making it difficult.
Therefore the acrylic paint will facilitate the task for it to cling well.
To do my drawing I use a one stroke brush.
A squared one. You may beveled one.
I dip one side on a light purple
and the other one in the white paint.
Then I may a shade off on my palette. It is very important.
Then I start drawing the rose.
Do not make it on the edge of the nail,
or else you won't have enough space to make the center of the rose.
You must always start by the external petals, do not start from the center.
Then I make randomly one or two petals.
there’s no rule to stick to. You can do it as you wish.
Now, I'll let it dry
and I place two coats for having the right color
since it's over a black background.
And I do the same thing again.
It is very important to some shade off on your palette first
since if you do it wrong and mix up everthing
the rose won't look great.
The two colors must be well distinguished.
It will look overloaded.
When it's dried up, I do the other coats inside
I made the same thing but this time, a bit lower.
Don't do it in the white color.
but in the purple color, otherwise, it will look weird.
As I had enough space, I did the same thing once more.
To make the heart of the flower
I make a spiral in the center
To do so, I make an arc up
then i make two arcs down.
One from the center to the side
And another one, around the spiral.
Hence, you have the spiral.
Once you've done the middle of the rose,
we make the sides where you have space left.
So I make two arcs.
Well, since I am not talented in drawing
my roses don't look like real rose.
That's why I did it haphazardly on my nails.
They are somehow out of the common.
Then I diluted the paint well
and with my small brush, I will do the curves.
Make sure that the lines are very thin.
otherwise it will ruin the whole drawing.
It will make it look more dynamic.
I make the middle spiral.
and I do the same on all the curves.
You don't have to do perfect curves
It won't look like the perfect flower.
Then, I will do the detailed drawings.
If you are doing it on short nails, I will advise you not to do too many
since it will be too much.
Don't do the leaves or arabesque,
but only some points and drops like you will see.
So I do the arabesques. I begin from the interior of the spiral and go outward
without pressing on the brush.
Then, I will add some small leaves
To do so, I press on my brush then I release it.
I'll do the same on the other side and leave it blank in the middle.
To make the small drops
I don't lean on my brush, and then I press on it.
To make the round shape of the drops.
In the left spaces,
I add some points with a small dotting tool.
I will now apply the final top coat
because it does not have any gleaming effect.
After applying it, you see that it will highlight all the colors.
It's prettier and we see how it accentuates the flower.
I like to apply the rhinestone after the top coat.
hence it is not covered the top coat and it look great.
I use the rhinestone glue. It clings better than wtih the top coat.
You may use a top coat unless you apply some on the rhinestone.
So I apply the glue and I apply several rhinestones of different size.
I apply it in an empty space.
So, here it is, it's finished.
It took me about two and a half hour to complete all my ten nails.
It was a little more difficult for my right hand.
You often ask me how I do it for my right hand
I do it in the same way but I don't film it because more difficult and I'm ambarassed by the camera.
I don't have an easier technique. It demands training.
Here is it, I hope that you liked the video.
