Repeat step 2 until the nail is covered with a thin layer of acrylic. 4. Place a small amount of dried flowers or botanical elements on the nail. 5. Apply a thin layer of acrylic monomer over the flowers and dip the nail into the acrylic powder. 6. Continue applying layers of acrylic monomer and acrylic powder until the flowers are fully encapsulated. 7. File and buff the nails to smooth out any rough edges. 8.

Tips for Creating Encapsulated Flower Nails

* Use a variety of dried flowers or botanical elements to create unique and interesting designs. * Experiment with different shapes and sizes of flowers to create different looks. * Be careful not to overload the nail with flowers, as this can make the nails look bulky. * If you are using fresh flowers, make sure to dry them thoroughly before using them. This will prevent the flowers from wilting or decaying. * Be patient and take your time when creating encapsulated flower nails. It may take some practice to get the hang of the technique.
