Best way to do these flowers, please

[Ellebelle]

Hi can anyone tell me if these flowers are easy to do? Or have they Been done using one stroke technique? I'm looking to do this on enhancements so was thinking of shellac but any advice greatly appreciated xx

 

[souz]

yes they look like one stroke to me but you could try painting them with shellac, just get a load of nail art brushes and tips and play around x

When you do them with shellac do you do the two colour coats, wipe with disperse, then draw flowers and then top coat.

They do like the one stroke.

Thanks for replies, yes I think from the shape they are one stroke, I'll ave a play and see what I can come up with :hug: xxx

You could very easily do these flowers without one stroke, I used to do them all the time years ago,
If you want to do it with shellac then I would recommend that you use studio white as the base to get the shape of the flowers with a detail brush cure, do this straight on top of your cured base colour coat, no need to topcoat right now, then cream puff to highlight using a finer detail brush, cure, Blackpool with a very fine detail rush and cure, topcoat and you are done.
Alternatively you could use airbrush acrylic paints which will pop under the topcoat, especially the black and white highlights, still use studio white to create your petals, but detail with the paint.
The pic is one of flowers without highlight or detail, but you get the idea ofnthe base petal shape from it.
Play and have fun, that is what it is all about, experimenting.

Thank you so much Jen here is my attempt. I bought a one stroke brush and used shellac in cream puff not brilliant but I feel more confident thank you xx

Edited to say I'm sorry the picture is so blurry!! It does look better in real life!

Hollie one stroke is a painting technique if you you tube it some examples will come up. I don't know how to do one stroke but having the correct brush made petals a bit easier to get a similar effect xx

How is the one stroke brush different?

 

[Ellebelle]

You know what I really couldn't tell you but it said one stroke brush on the label and I must admit compared to other brushes it seemed easier!
