Dried Flower Fall Nail Art Tutorial:
Before starting a nail art tutorial, it's a good idea to have everything ready so that you are not looking for your supplies in the middle of a manicure.
Step 1
Apply the first coat of nail polish to the nail form. Make sure that the whole nail is covered in a smooth coat. Let the first coat completely dry before going to the next step.
Step 2
Paint on the second coat of nail polish.
Step 3
While the second is still wet, apply the flower using fine pointed nail tweezers. You will need to place the flower exactly where you would like it to go the first time.
So do take your time to place the flower onto the nail. Once the flower is on the wet nail polish, it won't be able to be moved.
Step 4
Gently press the flower into the nail polish so that the edges are not sticking up very much.
Step 5
Apply the gold leafing flakes. You can place them wherever you like. In this nail, the gold flakes were started from 1/4 of the way from the free edge, up the the top of the nail using the end of the tweezers.
Step 6
Let the nail completely dry.
Step 7
Apply a generous layer of glossy top coat and let dry.
This nail turned out beautifully. You can do all of your nails like this for a full set or just pick one or two for accent nails.
