Floral Nails Using Rimmel London Polish

This nail design is very vintage inspired. It is really simple to do and does not take as long to do, as you would think! It is very simple and pretty, and I think a really nice summery look!

I used all Rimmel London polishes because I find them the most reliable polish to work with. However, you can use any polish you want in similar colours to what I am using. You could change the pink for any other shade you fancy. For example Red, Blue or purple. Just think Floral. I decided to play it safe with a nice rosy pink.

What I used:

• Rimmel London 60 seconds nail varnish in the colours, 500 Caramel Cupcake, 405 Rose Libertine and 730 Silver Bullet.

• Rimmel London I Love Lasting Finish in Minty Jade 2 old hair grips (you could use a toothpick but I did not have any so improvising was needed!)

First of all the base colour will need to be applied. For this look I used Rimmel London 60 Second polish in 500 Caramel Cupcake. It is a classy, nude beige colour. You can use any colour you fancy but I reccommend a colour that does not clash with the colour of your roses.

Wait to dry and then apply another coat.

After the second coat is dry you want to begin your roses. I took my Rimmel London Rose Libertine polish and placed 3 spots (not blobs) on each nail.

Next I dipped one end of my grip into the colour silver bullet and placed a spot of it in the middle of each of the 3 pink spots.

The using the other end of the grip I swirled the both colours together. When doing this be careful to not over swirl because you do not want to lose the pink around the edge of the rose. A tip, apply silver bullet and swirl the colours when the polish is still wet. Do this to every nail. And wait for your roses to dry.

To create the leaves I took another grip and dipped it into the colour misty jade and did little strokes on the edge of every rose. A nail art pen in any green colour would be ideal here but due to my lack of preparation I used a grip.

And that is how I created this floral look! Like I said there is room for you to experiment with different colour flowers or backgrounds. I hope this gave you an idea of how to do the basics.
