Flowers are asking for our marigolds in early spring.

In summer, the most beautiful May peonies, June scarlet and bright pink roses, July tricolor "pansies", August lilies and bells, September carnations and asters will be in vogue. There are many design options for flower manicure. Here are the most successful ideas for its implementation.

1. Large flower on one nail

It can be a flower beautifully painted with the finest brush and acrylic paints on the entire nail plate. This option looks especially good on long almond-shaped or oval-shaped nails, but it will also be good on a square nail plate, especially if the nails are wide enough. Choose the color of the varnish for the rest of the nails to match or in harmony with the shade of the painted flower.

2. Small flowers or bouquet

Another floral motif is small flowers or bouquets, as if scattered all over the nail or one small flower on each finger. In this case, the background for a drawn flower is better to choose a solid and neutral, for example, achromatic (white, gray, black) or nude.

3. Stickers with floral motifs

If your drawing skills are not up to par, you can use floral stickers. They are glued to the nails with water, and on top are necessarily covered with a transparent varnish or top for gel polish and dried in a UV lamp. The latter option will ensure the longevity of the sticker manicure.

Another option for a flower manicure "for the lazy" is stamping. Its main advantage is the possibility of easy and simple execution even on the shortest nails. At its core, this is an embossing on the nails, which is applied with a contrasting varnish on a monochromatic base using a special rubber stamp with floral patterns.

Useful Tips

In order for a juicy and bright summer nail design with flowers, fruits and butterflies to be perfect, you need to take into account several nuances:

• carefully align the nail plate, whatever it may be; grind it with a soft milling cutter or a file with minimal abrasiveness (buff);
  
• apply a base for gel polish or regular transparent varnish as a base to the nail plate in order to level the plate additionally;
  
• when choosing a colored varnish or gel varnish for a base for a drawing, make sure that it is combined in shades with the drawing or in harmony with it;
  
• it is best to use white as a basis for drawing - the color of a clean canvas of a painting, on which all colors will look as realistic as possible and will not be distorted;
  
• if you draw a picture on only one nail, it is not necessary to use white for other nails: for example, a "watermelon" manicure on one nail is perfectly combined with both scarlet and dark green on other fingers;
  
• the drawing is best drawn with acrylic paints, and not varnish or gel varnish: they dry faster and set, do not spread and allow you to create clear lines;
  
• it is best to draw a drawing with the thinnest brush: you can choose an ordinary artistic one or purchase a special one for nail design;
  
• the drawing must be covered on top with a transparent varnish or a top on gel varnish, or even better - in two or three layers, then it will last for a long time, and the paint will not chip.
