Hi ladies,
soon I want to manicure my nails myself 💅
I already have lots of stuff, but I had to order a starter set because only with glitters and flitters, it doesn't work 🤣
As I have to wait for the delivery I get more and more ideas about what I could do. And today I had a new one. I've seen dried flowers to use for nail design, but they aren't very cheap ...
During our morning walkie with my dog, I found some flowers I always see in dried flower sets. I know that you can dry them by yourself, and that's why I picked them up and took them home to dry them.
When they are finally dry, I will try to use them for my nail designs.

💡 Tipp: If you also want to dry flowers, but do not know how to do it, here follows a brief tutorial.

🌸 What you need to dry flowers:
An old book, paper towels, scissors, tweezers, something heavy, and of course flowers 😉
Step 1
Clean the flowers, and check if there are any flies or lice on them.Step 2
Cut them to the desired size and place them on a paper towel.Step 3
Fold the paper towel and place it between the book pages. The paper towel will absorb the moisture out of the flowers.💡 You can put several paper towels between different pages of the book.
Step 4
Close the book. To get more pressure you should put something heavy on the book, like other books or stones, and and set it aside.⏱️ It will need up to two weeks until the flowers are dry and ready to use.
Hopefully, it will work as I imagine it and I can use them for my nails 😍
I'll keep you posted 😎
And of course, I'll post everything about my nail stuff and later about my nail designs as soon as I can. (But first my equipment has to arrive 🐌)
