Dry flowers nail art!

This summer my passion for floral patter and motif went even crazier.
I loved the floral print 90s revival or the boho chic version for dresses and accessories.
 If head-to-toe flower prints aren’t exactly your idea of a seasonal wardrobe refresh, the nail trend that’s about to blow up is the perfect way to get into the spirit of spring/ summer.

Most nail trands came from Korea where insanely good nail artist are working hard everyday. One of them is with Eun Kyun Park (aka @nail_unistella on Instagram).She was the first one who used dry flowers on nails.

This is one of the easiest nail art you can find because it is created by applying mini dried flowers to the nail and sealing it in with a clear topcoat.

In this nail art I used this wheel of dried flowers from Beauty Big Bang.

As you can see from the picture the flowers come in 12 different colours: coral red, blue, light green, dark yellow, lavander purple, ivory white, fucsia, light orange, dusty purple, pink, teal, light yellow.

The colour choice is random and the flowers are approximately 5mm-7mm. There are 2-3 flowers of each color. I love the shape of the flowers, the petals are very thin, you can easly cut them in half if you want to use more colours on the same nail. The center part of some flowers is a bit more thick, I suggest you to use some extra top coat on that part and be very gentle with the petals.

These are really easy to use, with the help of a pair of tweesers you can apply them on a wet nail polish. Then, seal it in with top coat.

I left a clear base on the accent nails and used a sheer gold polish for the others nails.

Lace and pink nails art

Today's nail art is inspired by lace and intricated designs.
As you know I have an affiliation with the online store Born Pretty Store.
I was very excited to try one of their new stamping plates (plate number BPL-027).

The stainless plate measures 6,5 x 12,5 cm and has a white vinyl backing for increased ease of use.
Each plate comes in its own branded protective paper sleeve. The designs are well engraved onto the plate and covered with a blue protective film which needs to be removed before use.
For stamping I used the new Born Pretty Store jelly stamper, it is my favourite at the moment.

Here is a small video to show you the plate and the stamper.

As you can see, the plate has ten designs, 4 are bigger and square (3 cm x 3 cm), these are the best for longer or larger nails or for toe nails. These four designs show optical and kaleidoscopic patterns.


It's very easy to use this plates. Herre there is another short video and stamping demonstration.

The other six designs on the plate are a bit smaller 1,7 x 2,3 cm and display arabesque and elegant compositions.

That's why I had the idea of the lace nail art.

As base I used a sheer black polish. You can buy one or do it yourself mixing a clear nail polish and a few drops of a black nail polish.
Then I stamped the image on the nail with a regular black nail polish. I painted the rest of the nails with a dusty pink colour and I added a little pink stud on one accent nail.

That's all for now!

Best wishes,

Laura
