How to draw a rose on nails: design options and ways to create a picture

The image of flowers can be found anywhere. They paint pictures from them, decorate clothes and textiles with them. They find their place in the nail design. One of the most popular colors, both in living and in drawn form, is a rose. It seems that only an experienced master can draw such beauty. But this is not so. Below we will consider those methods that you can repeat at home.

This is the easiest and most affordable way to get a beautiful and accurate drawing on your own nails. I must say that in the world of nail design the word stencil has acquired a slightly different meaning. They are also called ordinary stickers today.

But no one bothers you to use traditional stencils. For example, you can cut it out of a thin film, but then blots in the picture are not excluded. Probably better to visit a specialty store and buy stickers - stencils. They look very natural and beautiful. You can choose the right size, color, and style of the picture. Another plus is the low cost of such products. How to use them?

There are two types of stickers - transferable and regular. The application steps will be almost identical.

1. We make a manicure, align the nail plate and give it the desired shape.
2. We cover the nails with a base coat. It performs several functions at once: it hides minor defects, protects the nail from aggressive coloring varnish pigments, and creates an excellent basis for applying colored varnish.
3. We cover with two layers of colored varnish. If the varnish has a high coating ability, then maybe one coat is enough.
4. If the sticker is transferable, then pre-soak it in water.At this stage, it must be disconnected from the base and transferred to the nail. It has a minimum thickness, so the transition will be completely invisible. With regular stickers it's still easier. We cut off the desired element, disconnect it with tweezers from the adhesive base and apply it to the nail. And in the first and in the second case, it is important to immediately correct the location. Make it convenient with a wand or tweezers. Make sure that no air bubbles remain under the sticker.
5. We cover the pattern with a top coating. So the picture will be protected and last long on the nails.

Another way to paint a rose on your nails is to use acrylic. Working with this material requires certain skills, so for beginners it will be difficult to complete it the first time. It is best, of course, to entrust such a design to professionals. But if you are determined to learn how to do it yourself and you have all the necessary tools, then practice the templates first.

Any stylish manicure is not only a beautiful drawing, but also a good preparation of nails. Make a cut or hardware manicure, file the nails to the desired length and shape, degrease the surface. Only after all this, apply a transparent base. Next is the background. The color here can be absolutely any, the main thing is that it goes well with your image as a whole.

After the base has dried or you have dried it in the lamp, the time for drawing a drawing comes. To do this, arm yourself with a thin brush. A rose can be made in several colors at the same time. This will give the picture volume and depth. Indeed, in wildlife, the flower has several shades. It’s just that they move so smoothly into one another that the color seems uniform.

Type acrylic on the brush and place a small comma in the place where the poor flower will be located. Then repeat similar commas around the central element. With each circle, they should be more and more.

After the flower dries, cover it with a finish coating. You will not have to worry about such a picture, since acrylic adheres tightly to the nails. The main advantage of this method is the volume of the image. However, he will not cause you any discomfort.

Two main methods are applied here. The first one is called dry, the second one is wet painting. Both methods can be repeated at home. The most interesting and beautiful drawings are obtained precisely with the second method, as smooth transitions and stains are created.

Consider step-by-step drawing in the first way. The initial stages are no different from those that are done with any kind of manicure. This is the treatment of nails, creating a form, degreasing and applying the base. Next comes the color base or background.

For accurate drawing of a rose, you will need a special tool - dots. This is such a metal stick, the end of which is thin, but not sharp. Dip it in gel polish and make a comma that is already familiar to us. Then we move from the center to the edges, drawing each petal in the form of similar in shape, but large in size commas or arcs. Dry and fix with a finish.

In the option of drawing on wet, only one stage and the method of applying the drawing will change. After you dry the first layer of color gel polish, apply the second, but do not dry. Right now the drawing will be drawn. To do this, you can use various improvised or professional tools. Special thin brushes, toothpicks, needles and even cotton buds will do.

For the drawing to turn out beautifully, a certain practice is necessary. Professionals hone their skills from day to day, but you should first try to create a picture on a regular sheet of paper or special templates (nails).The advantage of this method is the fact that the gel polish does not dry on the nails and you can perform the drawing without much haste. In the case of ordinary varnish, this slowness can ruin everything.

Such a design requires a high level of professionalism from the performer. To create volumetric parts, acrylic powder or gel is used. The master can pre-make a blank on the foil, and then only stick it on the nail or immediately start sculpting on the nail plate. For beginners, of course, the first method is preferred. Even if the figure does not work out, it can be simply thrown out. The manicure will not suffer. If you make a number of mistakes on the nail itself, you will have to start all over again.

If you are unsure of your own abilities, and you know that you will not be able to fashion an aesthetic rose, then you can buy a finished workpiece in a specialized store and just stick it on the nail.

Some inaccuracies in the molding can be corrected with a thin nozzle and apparatus. That is, the excess material can be gently cut or make the necessary recesses and bends. Pretty painstaking work, but if you want, you can learn how to do it at a fairly high level.

To quickly create the necessary design on the nails, another method, called stamping, was invented. It is based on the principle of conventional stamps. Only if in the seals familiar to us the volumetric image is already applied to the device itself, then here the principle is somewhat different. We will analyze the application technique in stages.

Special stamping stencils have recesses in the form of the desired pattern. First, the stencil itself is painted with varnish, after which excess is removed from the plane with a scraper. The varnish remains only in the recesses (figure). A special soft stamp is rolled on the stencil, absorbing the varnish. Now we see a drawing, but only already printed on the stamp. We then roll it on the nail in one direction and the other. It is easy to guess that the picture will be printed on the nail plate.

This method, although it seems complicated, is actually very convenient. The only drawback is the high cost of even the simplest stamping kit.

You can visually familiarize yourself with the stamping technology by watching the video below.

If you are close to Chinese motifs, then you can try to portray a rose in this style. For experienced craftsmen, this technique is familiar and understandable, but it will not be easy for a beginner to cope with it.

The drawing is usually done on a white or black background, which emphasizes its unique style. Put one drop of contrasting varnishes on foil or paper. It can be black and red, pink and gray. Now type both of these colors on one brush. It’s not scary if they touch each other.

Outlining the petals of an open rose, you will see that they have a smooth gradient due to the mixing of two shades. We achieved this effect. We draw a flower with five petals and expand its diameter with additional circles of petals. The middle should be darker. If you look at a living rose, then it is such a natural color transition that she has.

Of course, it is more convenient and easiest to use special stickers, but if you yourself can repeat such a masterpiece on your nails, then every time you look at it you will experience moral and aesthetic pleasure.

In more detail, the technology of applying Chinese roses on nails is presented in the next video.

There are no special restrictions and rules when choosing a background color or the color itself. The main thing is to follow a sense of proportion. Indeed, excessive catchiness and an abundance of drawings, rhinestones and volume can border on bad taste. It is better to give preference to restrained, but elegant solutions.

For example, one voluminous black rose can give you a mysterious and interesting personality.And the pink color will tell everyone about your romantic character stock. If you can not decide on the color scheme, then look at your own wardrobe. Performing a manicure in the same palette, you will ensure the unity of the image and style.

Beautiful stickers on the nails convey all the beauty of a living flower. Moreover, they look very harmonious and feminine.
