Original “floral” nail art.
The original “floral” nail art came into fashion a few years ago. Manicurists have developed a lot of techniques for applying patterns to the nail plate.
As for styles, special preference was given to minimalism, a variant called “Gzhel”, as well as luxurious Chinese painting. To this day, flowers on nails have not lost their relevance. And that’s why fashionistas should master several simple techniques for decorating their manicure with floral motifs at home.
The easiest way to achieve what you want is to paint flowers using varnishes of various colors. The second option is “marble” nail art, which requires “tools” such as a toothpick and a glass filled with water. And the third way is to use special acrylic paints. It is also possible to use volumetric decorative molding.
You will need nail polishes that have shades that match each other. For example, you can take 2 options of varnishes (or enamels) of pink colors (of varying intensity). To complement them, choose lilac and red coatings, sparkles, a colorless base and a special fixer.
Creating a floral nail design when choosing this painting option involves performing the following steps:
· cover your nails with colorless varnish;
· create a hot pink base for your nail art. Wait for it to dry (as is the case with each subsequent layer of varnish);
· Apply 3 pale pink, rather wide stripes with a brush. One (horizontal) should run in the center of the nail plate, and 2 more - diagonally, in the direction from top to bottom and bottom to top;
· after these strips have dried, the gap between them should be covered with wide lines of lilac color;
· starting from the upper right corner of the nail, start drawing a red flower, carefully tracing each petal. Similar patterns should be applied at the bottom of the nail plate;
· inside the red flowers, carefully draw soft pink ones;
· While the varnish is still wet, sprinkle it with glitter and secure your creation with clear varnish.
When using this method of painting, you can get very original drawings, similar to the creations of abstract artists. The main thing is to be patient and practice a little, because the desired drawing may not work out the first time.
So, fill a glass with water, carefully pour a little varnish into it, and then drop a similar coating of a different color into the center of the resulting circle. If desired, you can make a “multi-tiered” circle. Then carefully, using a toothpick, you need to make small strokes from the edges of the multi-colored drop to its central part. You will get “petals”. Carefully lower your finger into the water, directly onto the created “flower”, so that the varnish film is securely deposited on the nail. Then wipe off any excess coating that gets on your skin. That's all, marble floral nail art is ready for you!
Thanks to the use of this type of coating, you can not limit your imagination, mixing different shades and creating unique masterpieces.
For example, by covering your nails with 2-3 layers of white paint, you can paint scarlet poppies on the resulting background. These flowers consist of 4 petals. It is better to place them closer to the edge of the nail plate.
Make light, neat strokes in the direction from the center of the flower to the edges of its petals. Then mix red paint with white and apply thin “veins” (in the same direction). Your poppies will visually become more “alive” and voluminous.
Place a black dot in the center of the poppy, then apply clear polish to it and sprinkle it with silver glitter. That's it, your acrylic flowers on your nails are ready!
Volumetric floral motifs look very original, serving as decoration and addition to manicure. The name of this technique is acrylic modeling. Most often, it is attached only to the ring fingers, so as not to “overload” the created nail art.
To apply acrylic molded patterns, you should carefully sand your nails and give them the desired shape (or stick on special tips). Then the plate is covered with a thin layer of transparent acrylic, onto which individual elements of the molded design are laid. A layer of colorless gel should be applied on top of the created volumetric design. Then you need to finally correct the shape of the nail.
If desired, you can create the sculpting elements yourself (on a sheet of foil), attaching them to the nail using special glue. If you are unable to do such work, specialized stores sell fully finished acrylic three-dimensional designs. It can be made in the form of flowers and any other shapes.
At all times, flowers and floral patterns have been the most beloved and frequently encountered designs and forms. They were used in the manufacture of jewelry, in clothing design, in decorating rooms and creating a cozy atmosphere in them. Therefore, floral motifs could not help but appear in designs on nails. Modern nail art technologies allow you to create the most fantastic and very beautiful floral designs and voluminous compositions. Flowers on nails are fashionable and feminine, no matter what design option you choose, they will certainly become a decoration of the entire look.
“Floral” nail art came into fashion several seasons ago and has not lost its popularity since then. Manicurists have developed and mastered several techniques for creating patterns on nails. In most cases, you will need to use special materials and tools for nail art, but the result is worth it.
Floral nail design includes not only hand-drawn ornaments and motifs, but also additional nail stickers, glitter, rhinestones and sculpting elements. Nail art does not stand still, new fashionable ideas for nail design and execution techniques are constantly appearing, so it is important for every fashionista to be aware of the latest inventions. The color range of nail polishes and the variety of their textures allow you to create real masterpieces and surprise others with your nails.
As for the performance style, everything will depend on personal preferences. You can choose minimalism in design and do a manicure in the Gzhel style, or do a luxurious manicure in the style of Chinese painting, draw simple flowers and decorate them with sparkles, or create voluminous flowers and paint them with acrylic paints.
Perhaps the easiest way to decorate your nails with beautiful floral designs is to use special transfer stickers or stencils. You can buy them in the same departments that sell varnishes and everything you need for a manicure.
It is very simple to perform such a manicure with flowers, just apply 1-2 layers of varnish of the desired shade to your nails and let it dry thoroughly. Then immerse the stickers in water for a couple of minutes (you can cut them out one at a time, for each nail separately). When the glue holding the drawing on the paper becomes limp and the drawing separates from it and floats to the surface, you need to carefully, one by one, immerse your fingers in the water and bring them under the drawing floating on the surface of the water and, helping yourself with a wooden stick or nail file, place floral design on the nail, carefully lifting the finger out of the water.
Now you need to blot your nails with a paper napkin. This will help press the design firmly onto the surface of the nail and remove excess moisture. After the nails have dried well, you need to cover them with a layer of transparent fixative so that the design sticks well and the manicure remains fresh and neat for as long as possible.
A fairly simple way to perform a floral design is to apply a design to the nail plate using multi-colored varnishes. Although I must admit it will take some time to train. To complete the drawing, you need to choose shades that combine well with each other. For example, you can use two or three pink enamel varnishes of varying intensity and brightness. You can use lilac or chocolate varnish as a base, and use sparkles or rhinestones as decoration.
It is important that such a multi-color and sometimes multi-layer manicure is performed using a colorless base coat and a special fixer.
This floral manicure should be performed in this order:
You can also create a marble or water-colored manicure using regular polishes. To do this, pour a small amount of varnishes of the selected colors into a container of water, directly in the center, and lightly mix these varnishes using a toothpick. After this, you need to dip your nail into the resulting stain and that’s it, the manicure with outlandish colored patterns is ready!
Some girls believe that the skill of making designs on nails is subject exclusively to professional manicurists. Is such an opinion justified? Perhaps only partly. After all, if you have the desire, perseverance and willingness to overcome minor difficulties at the beginning of the journey, any young lady will be able to master the basics of nail painting without leaving home. Of course, at first you will have to hone your skills in creating the simplest designs on your nails. And even if the “first pancakes” are, according to the law of the genre, lumpy, don’t despair. After some time, your hand will become much more confident, and the design will become more intricate - you just have to believe in your own strength. If you still underestimate your capabilities, we suggest you make sure that painting on your nails is not only fun, but also affordable. In this article we will try to “break down” the various nail painting techniques, including a discussion of the necessary devices and materials for its implementation. In addition, we will present to your attention a photo selection of ideas for beautiful designs on nails. By following the presented step-by-step diagrams, you will diversify the boring monochromatic coating of your nails with interesting, bright accents. Well-proven varnishes and accessories will help you create beautiful designs.
Summer flowers (daisies, pansies) are suitable for young beauties. Romantic beauties are happy to paint roses, charismatic women like peonies, and manicure designs with poppies are chosen by purposeful ladies who know a lot about men.
So that you can choose the nail art you like and see how impressive it will look on your nails, we have prepared a collection of photos for you. Elegant flowers on nails will serve as a magnificent decoration for your hands. Enjoy viewing the photos and let them give you creative ideas that you want to implement in your own manicure.
The easiest way to create an unsurpassed manicure are patterns created using the most ordinary sewing needle. In order to create such a manicure, you will need several varnishes (the more varnishes are used, the more interesting and unique the finished work will be) and a regular needle. When choosing the color of varnishes, special attention should be paid to the fact that effective combinations should be created in contrasting shades; if this is not possible, then simply different colors will suit the wave. If you do not pay attention to this issue, then the created pattern on the nails will merge and will not produce the desired effect.
To make a drawing that is easy to use, you will need three types of varnish, for example, white, pink and dark burgundy, as well as a needle, a transparent base, and small shiny glitter. Next we perform the following steps:
First of all, prepare your hands by treating your nails and cuticles using the European or classical method. This type of care is easy and affordable for every beginner. A huge number of photos and videos can help you with care. After finishing the cuticle treatment, you need to cover your nails with a colorless base.
We apply white varnish, since a background of this color will well highlight any designs that will look richer. It is better to apply the foundation in two layers, without affecting the cuticle area.
Be sure to wait until the surface dries, because the pattern will then turn out sloppy. Use pink polish to place three or four dots vertically on either side of the nail. Place dark burgundy peas between the pink peas. Then, while the varnish is still wet, use a needle to make spiral movements from bottom to top.
After the varnish has dried, it is necessary to apply a fixing coating that will smooth the surface. Sprinkle glitter glitter on top to hide minor imperfections on the nail and decorate the design.
Another popular method used to create simple but extremely beautiful patterns is painting with acrylic paints. This method of creating nail designs for beginners is no more difficult than painting with varnish. And for some it’s even easier and more convenient. And to make sure of this, we offer you schemes for creating a pattern with acrylic.
Drawing patterns correctly requires precision and smooth movements, patience and a little practice. Gel polish can be an excellent alternative to regular polishes. It can last on your nails for up to three weeks, which will save you from the need to constantly adjust your manicure and free up your time for some more important things.

Not only the shape of nails speaks about a person’s health, but also their color. Yellow nails ! It looks not only ugly, but also unhealthy! Hippocrates also noted that changes in the color and structure of nails can tell a diagnostician a lot. Hippocratic observations still remain relevant. And modern doctors in various fields of medicine use observation of nails as an additional element of diagnosis. After all, the cause of problems with nails can be endocrine, cardiovascular and other disorders in the body.
But we girls are primarily concerned with the appearance of our nails. Agree, yellow toenails and fingernails do not look very attractive. But doesn’t any unhealthy manifestation have a repulsive effect on people?
Therefore, the problem needs to be solved not only from the outside, but to a greater extent from the inside. Of course, the methods are different, depending on the cause of yellow nails .
The most elementary is the external influence of various chemical compounds. This could be nail polish, nail polish remover, household chemicals, or even exposure to ultraviolet radiation. As a rule, the negative impact of such products affects only the exposed part of the nail.
There are several ways to get rid of yellow nails
Even if the color change is caused solely by external influences on the nail plate, you may not be able to whiten your nails. Then, to completely get rid of yellowness, you need to wait until the damaged part of the nail grows completely. And this may take 3-6 months (depending on the condition of the body).
But there is also a second, more serious case: yellow nails on the toes and hands over their entire surface (visible and hidden parts). That is, the nail sprouts with a change in color.
In this case, beauty salon, home and other gentle whitening procedures will not help you.
A separate item among the causes of yellow nails on the toes and hands is “Yellow Nail Syndrome.” It can appear in middle age in both men and women and can be caused by various pulmonary diseases, ranging from chronic bronchitis to malignant tumors, as well as endocrine disorders, pathologies of the lymphatic system and immunodeficiency conditions.
In any case, if yellowness appears on your nails, do not panic. You need to calmly evaluate your lifestyle, is there really no reason for such changes? Sometimes nails turn yellow from “harmless” smoking, on both hands.
Well, if problems with your nails are seriously bothering you, don’t delay: go to the doctor right away.
