Flower Manicure Using Real Flowers

Today's post will be about how to have a manicure with real flowers on it. Yes, real flowers. It's a long process, but once it's finished it looks awesome and it's a lot easier than drawing a flower on yourself.
You will need:
  • a base coat
  • your favorite shade of nail polish
  • a bunch of small flowers (small enough to fit on your nails)
  • a heavy book or two
  • paper towels
  • a top coat
Step 1: Drying the Flowers
Gather all the flowers and remove any stems or leaves attached to them
Place them on a paper towel face up 
Cover them with another paper towel
Take the books and stack them on top of the flowers
Leave them like this for 1-2 days, the flowers should be crispy-feeling

Step 2: Paint Your Nails 
Apply a base coat
Paint two coats of any nail polish on your nails
Wait until they are fully dry to complete the next step

Step 3: Attaching the Flowers
Once nails are fully dry, get out the flowers and put them on a table 
Choose which flowers you will use for each nail and put them into piles
Carefully spread a bit of top coat to the spot you want the flower to be
Make the top coat about the size of the flower
Gently stick the flower to your nail, applying pressure all over 
Do this with all of your nails


So enjoy!
