Mixed media rose nail design

Sculpt an almond nail enhancements using coloured acrylic powders, creating an ombré design from dark to light (cuticle to tip).

Cap with clear acrylic, ensuring to build your structure and then file and shape.

Make sure the nails are clean and dry before stamping. Use a vintage style stamping plate and white stamping polish to create your design.

Use white 3D plastellin gel to create a ribbon effect around the stamped design. Cure to manufacturer's instructions. To create the stone, use Akzentz Gel Play Bling-On Gel to secure your rhinestone and small beads around it, curing for 30 seconds in an LED lamp.

To make the 3D roses, use a very small bead of coloured acrylic and press it out flat, wait until it looks satin and is mouldable.

Use your brush to carefully roll the acrylic to create the centre of the rose.

Repeat step 5 and mould the petal around the centre petal.

Keep creating and adding petals, changing colours as you go to add more depth to your flowers. Place the finished rose on the ring fingers using a small bead of clear acrylic.

To finish the design, place additional gems and micro beads using Akzentz Gel Play Bling-On Gel to secure them in place. Apply a high shine top coat to all of the nails to complete the design.
