Nowadays, as we strive for naturalness and ecology, dried flowers on nails are gaining popularity. It’s not only an extremely effective way to decorate nails but also a way to express oneself subtly and originally. Flowers have always been a symbol of beauty and delicacy, and now we can wear them on our hands. How to create such a manicure? Let’s find out!
Why choose dried flowers?
Dried flowers are a natural and ecological way to decorate nails. Unlike synthetic decorations, they are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. By choosing flowers that have already been dried, we give them new life instead of contributing to the production of new materials. Moreover, each flower is unique, making our manicure one of a kind.
Which flowers to choose?
Not all flowers are suitable for nail decoration. Small and delicate flowers, such as daisies, cornflowers, or lavender, work best. If we want a more intense color effect, it’s worth reaching for dried rose petals or pansies. It’s important that the flowers are properly dried, making them durable and easy to apply. It’s worth looking for ready-made sets of dried flowers for nail decorations in online stores or making them yourself.
How to prepare nails?
Preparing nails is a key step to ensure our decoration is durable and looks aesthetic. We start by thoroughly cleaning the nails and removing any old polish residue. Then we shape them with a file. It’s also important to moisturize the cuticles around the nails to prevent them from drying out. Finally, we apply a base coat to protect the natural nail plate and facilitate flower application.
How to apply dried flowers?
Applying dried flowers requires some precision, but the end result is definitely worth it. After applying the base coat, we apply a thin layer of polish in the chosen color. While the polish is still wet, we gently stick the dried flowers onto the nail using tweezers. We can place them in any way, creating unique compositions. Once the polish dries, we cover the entire nail with a top coat to secure the decoration and add shine.
Inspiration and trends
A manicure with dried flowers can be adapted to different occasions and styles. For everyday wear, we can opt for minimalist decorations with single flowers that subtly highlight our style. For special occasions, like weddings or romantic dinners, we can go wild and create more complex compositions. It’s also worth experimenting with different polish colors as a background for our floral decorations.
How to care for a manicure with dried flowers?
A manicure with dried flowers, although beautiful, requires proper care to please our eyes for as long as possible. Regular moisturizing of cuticles and nails is essential to avoid drying out. It’s also advisable to avoid contact with harsh chemicals that could damage the decoration. If we notice the top coat starting to wear off, we can apply another layer to extend the manicure’s durability.
