An oriental legend says that a wonderful flower was born when the cilia of the sleeping Buddha touched the ground. In Ancient Greece, there was no doubt that a fragile plant grew out of the tears of Venus, mourning the beautiful young man Adonis. A small breeze is enough for the death of a graceful flower.

The petals look expressive on two adjacent fingers. One flower placed on two nails at once looks original - the core serves as a unifying element, the halves of which are located on different surfaces. Some girls prefer large poppies, others - small flowers, small buds. The plant can occupy the entire nail plate or a small area in the corner of the nail.The flower is depicted with three, four or five petals. The middle is most often black, sometimes it is supplemented with yellow or white blotches.

Poppies are amazingly combined with a jacket. Huge flowers can be applied to the entire plate, giving the jacket a special sophistication. Sometimes miniature poppies are drawn directly on the smile line.

To apply a poppy pattern, you can use gel, regular varnish or acrylic paints. A print applied with traditional varnish lasts 5-6 days, with acrylic - 2-3 weeks, with gel - a month or more.

The floral pattern is applied to the nail using stamping - an innovative way - with special prints for nails. The image of the poppy is transferred from the stencil with a rubber or silicone stamp. A special scraper will help remove excess pre-applied varnish. This method does not require drawing skills, professional use of a brush.

• cut out the desired fragment;
• placed in water for 40-50 seconds;
• use tweezers to separate the picture with the poppy from the base of the slider;
• attach the image to a nail covered with acrylic or gel;
• dry completely;

Stickers can be easily attached to nails that are not treated with acrylic or gel. Stickers cling with tweezers. Nails pre-coated with two coats of regular polish and well-dried are a great area for stickers. The print with a bud is fixed by pressing a cotton swab, with the help of which air bubbles are released and all irregularities are removed. A transparent finish top is applied on top of the picture.
