Petal Power

La Femme Nail Systems Petal Power Nail Art Step by Step

1. Take your already extended nail and using a La Femme Summer Cornflower Acrylic from Starter Kit IV acrylic and Azure Ocean Glitter from Starter Kit III, colour blend starting with the summer cornflower at the cuticle and fading to azure blue at the free edge.
2. Apply a La Femme clear acrylic over the complete nail.
3. File and buff.
4. Using La Femme Snow White acrylic pick up a small ball and place near cuticle.
5. Pat with a brush to form a petal.  Repeat twice to create base petals for a flower.
6. Pick up another ball of snow white acrylic and place where you want your leaf.
7. To form your leaf use the point of your brush and gently pull through the acrylic to create a leaf point.
8. Create all your leaves.  Petals will now be dry.
9. Again, using a La Femme snow white acrylic pick up a ball slightly smaller than the first petals.
10. The ball needs to be dryer when applied to the nail to avoid the petals blending together.
11. Blot out as much liquid as possible and wait a little longer to apply.
12. Form a second layer of petals as described in Step 1.
13. To finish, apply one La Femme diamonte to the centre of the flower and further dimontes between the leaves.
14. Fix with La Femme Clear Acrylic or La Femme Nail Glue.
15. Apply La Femme Clear Polish to seal and shine.
