How to Create a Mexicali Roses Nail Art Design

Learn how to create a Mexicali roses nail design in this Howcast nail tutorial.



Now we're going to do a print inspired by my favorite designer, Betsey Johnson. They're Mexicali roses!

So first, I'm just going to use my regular polish brush and just go in and make like a big giant smudge basically. Don't worry too much about like its shape or its... it should be sort of like a bud of a rose.

And now I'm going to come in with pink - just a bright pink.

So while those big things are drying, just go in and do your leaves. Just using a medium-sized brush, I just try to do a good directional leaf shape.

So you just want to go in with a lighter green and do like a little bit of a vein.

So now we're going to go in with the opposite color so I'm going to do pink on the red and just pick out like a little.. some petals!

Now we're going to do the same thing on the pink - just in red!

Just add some topcoat and you've got some budding Betsey Johnson Mexicali roses!
