Vintage Rose Accent Nail

Hello Everyone!

I'm back at it! Sorry I haven't posted but this last month has been crazy with 2 online classes! I've painted my nails twice in the past month if that tells you how busy I've been!

Today I'm going to show you one of my all time FAVORITE accent nails! I came up with this vintage themed rose accent nail on a whim and I absolutely love it!


What you need:
✔️Base Coat (Avon ridge finning base coat)
✔️Light pink polish (Ulta no name)
✔️Nude Polish (avon)
✔️Darker pink polish (L.A. Colors)
✔️Green polish (Art Deco)
✔️Gelous (optional)
✔️Too coat (seche vite)
✔️Dotting tool (Avon)
✔️Detailing Brush (Avon)
✔️Single Cevron Vinyls (vinylquickies.storenvy.com)



So before I get into the details I'm going to apologize for the lack of links in this and future posts. I am currently posting from my Blogger app because I don't have internet where I'm staying and the app doesn't give me the option to use links. I will, however, include some websites at the end of the post for you!

First, make sure to apply your base coat to protect your nails!

Next, apply a coat of your darker pink polish and allow that to dry. You may need multiple coats to achieve an opaque color. I believe I used 3 or 4.

Once your base color is dry, put a coat of fast dry top coat on your accent nail. After that dries, apply one of your single chevron vinyls. Paint over that with your nude color and pull the vinyl off IMMEDIATELY! If you wait too long, the polish will become tacky and it gets pretty messy.

After you remove the vinyl and the polish dries, place some dark pink dots on the nude polish. Make sure these are thick dots, as you will be swirling your lighter polish in.

Now add a few small swirls of your lighter polish inside of the dots.

Just add some leaves and top with top coat and Gelous.



I still love these nails and might do a similar design again soon! I have a lot of reviews and tutorials coming, so stay tuned!
