Nail-Art Flowers ... Had A Go!

[Glorsclaws]

Having pressed some Forget-Me-Nots last night, I couldnt wait to have a go today. Didnt have time to get the l&p out, so its just done with base & top coat.
Not the best work I ever did but, I've a feeling I'll be playing some more before the weekend is out!

Hi Glo, their really fab love the colour of the flowers too, excellent xx looks like im going flower hunting today now...lol x

 

[Lellipop]

Hiya Glo,
Love them, I just think its such a fab look for say wedding or a summer day out
I will have a go and post when done.

They're lovely, Glo!

I bought some pink ones from NSI yesterday and have a lady coming around next week who wants them on her nails - hope they turn out as nice as yours. I think I'll be scouring the gardens now for some little flowers, bit cheaper than having to buy them all the time!

hello glor they look really nice!

i have some flowers drying in silica gel at the moment i`ll have a play when they are ready and send you a picture.

 

[parkyojin]

Those really look lovely! I'm so jealous of your talent!! Keep up the great work!

 

[loo]

I lurvvvvvv em Glor they look really lovely and great for summer I love little special touches to the nails like that I reckon if you offered them to clients you would get loads wanting them done I certainly would!! What a lovely blue they are too. Did you apply a base coat and put them into it when it was still wet then apply top coat straight after? Well done you!! :green:

Does anyone know if i am able to do this using the FABRIC# system,and if so at which stage,after build before blast, or after build/blast before boost,or in-between boosts and apply before 1st coat dries???? ooooeeeer that got complicated! :lol: anybody tried it or can advise me,thanks.DEBS.x

 

[TracyUK]

I have them on my nails too...it worked a treat...so simple and pretty...ideal for brides as you can match the nails to the bouquet etc

 

[JackieMc]

They're lovely, Dawn. I particularly like the tiny leaves - did you have to cut and shape them or did you find them that small? Next set I do on myself I'll be having a go at the flowers and leaves - so impressive!

the leaves are straight from the plant but they shrink a bit when you dry them.

 

[Carole Lindsay]

Wow you guys are really clever. How do you get the flowers to stay flat on the nail considering a nail is a slightly rounded surface? Ants mentioned when he was putting lace on that he used a plastic wrap to hold them in position. Is that wot you do? Not sure wot plastic wrap is and do you remove it afterwards? Any clarification would be appreciated.

Lots of love

Carole you should find a good quality top coat holds them fine...the petals especially are so delicate they hold down easily onto base coat. i wondered if I would need to cover with acrylic but I found there is no need at all

 

[JackieMc]

Ok, I found some teeny tiny white flowers in my garden, so now I need to know how to dry them - HELP!!

Dawn, you mentioned Silica Gel, do you just need to store them in an airtight container with some silica gel in with them? If so, how long until they are ready to use?

Thanks
