Nail art tutorial - vintage roses

Start off with a base coat and a nice colour. A light colour is probably best so that your roses stand out more.

Choose two shades of a nice colour of your choice for your roses. I chose blue. With the lighter colour, dot some round shapes on your nail. They don't have to be perfect circles, rustic is good!

With the darker colour, ouline the edges of your circles in a broken line to make petals. I found this worked better if I did three seperate lines on the outside of the circle.

In green (or any other colour you fancy) add your leaves by drawing quite small linear shapes coming out away from your roses.

Finally finish off with a top coat or clear polish!

You don't need any expensive tools to do this pretty design, the edge of your brush works good. But if you've not got a steady hand, use a fine paintbrush. I invested in some striper nail art brushes from eBay and they were only £2, bargain!
