About

Here at Dahlia Nails we love a floral design and love a good vintage vibe. When we saw Maybelline's Acid Wash and Bleached Neons ranges we were in love and decided to create a distressed floral mani combining our love of 80s/90s fashion and girls florals.

We hope you enjoy!

    Steps for the design:
    1. Paint two coats of Lilac Rebel over your base coat
    2. Using the white nail art pen draw some groups of circles and leaf shapes
    3. With your small nail art brush paint over the white shapes with your colours
    4. Once the colours have dried use your white nail art pen to draw some highlights
    5. Seal the look with your favourite top coat - We used Seche Vite

    Et voila! Your nails are ready to be shown off to the world.

    In the main picture above we used a coat of Maybelline's Acid Wash Top Splatter for a more distressed look.
