Lush Rose
If you spend a little more time, you can create a very beautiful lush flower. To do this, you need to take two shades of varnish and a small but wide brush.
Watch how a rose is made on nails step by step:
- First, prepare a place for creativity: shape the nail and cover the plate with background polish.
- Draw a large circle on your nail with a brush or dots.
- Dab a dab of a different shade of polish onto the paper.
- Without waiting for the circle to dry, dip a brush with a rectangular end into the drop and draw an arc along the top edge of the circle (Illustration 1). Let the brush touch the varnish on the round. This way the arc will have a gradient effect.
- Dip the brush again in the varnish and draw two lines to the right and left of the upper arc that taper downwards (Illustration 2).
- Draw two more lines below, similar to the previous ones (Figure 3).
- Draw a wavy line to complete the circle (Figure 4).
- Make a wide arc under the first one, and put two or three strokes on it (Figure 5).
- Draw a similar arc further down to form a circle (Figure 6).
- Under the last arc, draw "antennae", the ends of which are raised up (Figure 7).
- Below the previous arcs, make two petal strokes (Figure 8).
The flower is ready! Try to draw a rose quickly, until the varnish on the circle has dried. In this technique, it is very important that there is a gradient effect. But this can be achieved in another way: put a drop of one shade, and under it - the second, then brush the brush over two colors at once.
Thus, you can draw a bud. It consists of two arcs: one is at the top, the other is at the bottom (look at the illustration above).
Tip: before painting roses on your nails, practice on special tips or a piece of paper.
