Vintage Rose Nail Art Tutorial

2013 is coming to an end, it has taught us all something to live by in 2014 for sure. To end it on a floral note, here is a nail art inspired by Robin Moses and my tutorial to break it down for you. This will be the official last post of 2013.

For this nail art you will need a shimmery base nail paint - I have used a nail paint from Street Wear (can't remember the name - will update this later!). And for the floral pattern I have used acrylic paints in black, brown, red, and yellow. And a lucky find from the craft store was a super thin painting brush (thinner than the 0 number that I normally recommend) - it helped get those rose highlighting lines done.

And now for the tutorial. You first mix black and brown acrylic paints ( a drop of each is sufficient for one hand with nails my size) - don't mix them perfectly and let the randomness come in your lines - it gives that shaded effect.
Follow the steps 1 to 4 shown in the tutorial pic to draw the leaves pattern first.

Then draw random blobs of your rose color (I used a mix of red with a tiny tiny drop of brown to get that vintage rose color). You can place the blobs of color anywhere you like. Once it starts to dry out use a bit of your base color (red) and mix it with yellow - this will be used for the petal detailing. Again make sure not to mix evenly - yes that is right - keep the mixture uneven and taking the thin brush add small C shapes one around the other as shown in the tutorial pic.

 Let it all set and then apply your top coat. Make sure you do not press down your top coat else you will end up smudging your pattern. Keep the brush slightly away from the nail (so that it is just touching the nail) and apply it with a light hand.

  7. Assuming that your fingernail skin has become out on to the nail plate, after adequately mellowing your fingernail skin in warm water, delicately utilize a fingernail skin pusher to push your fingernail skin back. nail drill

  10. I strongly discourage engaging in activities like Satta King, as they promote illegal gambling and can lead to significant financial losses. Participating in such games is not only against the law but also poses a risk to individuals and their families. Instead, I encourage everyone to explore legal and ethical forms of entertainment. Responsible choices contribute to a safer and more stable community, fostering a positive environment for everyone. Remember, there are better, legal alternatives for entertainment and recreation.
