Vintage Rose Nail Tutorial

So I'm kind of obsessed with making these pictorials. Haha I'll make one with every chance that I get! I think they're so fun to put together and I love helping you all achieve my nail designs. Today I have a brand new pictorial for the Vintage Rose Nails that I did a few days ago inspired by @PrettyLittleNails. I hope you all enjoy this and continue reading for in depth instructions on how to get this nail look!

Materials:

• Base Coat (I used Essie's Grow Stronger)
• A flesh-toned base polish (I used Essie's Mademoiselle) 
• A white striper polish or white polish and a striper brush (I used a white Stripe Rite polish)
• A light pink polish (I used Essie's Muchi, Muchi)
• A medium pink polish (I used Pink Forever by Sinful Colors)
• A dark pink polish or red polish (I used Siren by Pure Ice)
• A light green polish (I used Essie's Navigate Her)
• A medium/dark green polish (I used Exotic Green by Sinful Colors)
• A small detail brush
• A dotting tool
• Your favorite top coat (I used Seche Vite)

Step One:
After applying your base coat, paint your nails with a flesh-toned polish.

Step Two:
With your striper brush, create diagonal lines across your nail. Try your best to make these lines thin and evenly spaced.

Step Three:
Now create diagonal lines in the opposite direction to create a crosshatch pattern.

Step Four:
With a dotting tool or a small detail brush, take your medium pink polish and create a few blobs in the rough shape of roses anywhere on your nail. Don't worry if they're not perfect, we'll add details later.

Step Five:
With your dark pink/red polish and your small detail brush, create a few thin and curved lines in the rose. I'm not the best nail artist so I seriously just made some random lines haha.

Step Six:
This step is honestly optional. If you'd like to add some definition to your roses, you can take a light pink polish and add a few strokes of it to your rose to highlight certain areas.

Step Seven:
With your light green polish, paint a few leaves wherever you see fit. This doesn't have to be perfect, nature is unexpected and there's no wrong place to put a leaf.

Step Eight:
This is another optional step. Take your dark green polish and add definition to your leaves if you'd like them to look more realistic.

Step Nine:
Finish this design with your favorite top coat to ensure that it lasts a long time! :)
