"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nNail artist Simcha Whitehill aka Miss Pop shows you exactly how to recreate this vintage-looking floral mani with ease.\n\n1. Prep. File your nails into the desired shape, push back your cuticles \u2014 DO NOT CUT THEM! \u2014 and then apply one layer of a base coat polish, followed by two coats of YSL \"Beige Gallery 39.\" 2. Create a flower. To do so, use a pink shade, like Deborah Lippmann \"Shape of My Heart,\" get a bead of polish on the tip of the brush, and then spread out a few drops randomly on each nail.3. Add leaves. Using a small paint brush or striper brush, create a leaf shape by drawing a narrow pointed oval, and then filling in the open space with a deep green shade, like OPI \"Here Today \u2026 Aragon Tomorrow.\" 4. Outline the flower buds. Dip the same thin striper brush in Essie \"Licorice,\" and then outline each bud with two black parenthesis. Then, inside each bud, create a \"V\" shape in two short strokes. \"To get that sketch pad look, your lines should simply suggest the shape and not be perfectly drawn on,\" Whitehill says. Finally, wait a few minutes for your artwork to set. Then seal your look with topcoat. Voila! Chic, vintage-looking nails that people will pin the hell out of. Now, Instagram and tweet your DIY design with the hashtag #CosmoManiMonday.RELATED ARTICLES:Nail Art How-To: Navy and Teal Glitter Nails 5 Things You NEED to Make Sure Your Manicurist DoesNail Art How-To: Gorgeous Glitter NailsNail Art How-To: Sexy Snakeskin ManiFollow Carly Cardellino on Facebook and Twitter.Photo Credit: Elizabeth Griffin"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
