A floral mani has to be up there as one of the most popular (and one of our most favourite) nail art designs. But how do you draw the perfect little nail art flowers when you're no Picasso? Well, it's actually very easy.

Whether flowers are on the menu for your next summer mani, or you just want to add some floral flair to your everyday look, we've got you covered with this beginner-friendly guide on how to do nail art flowers at home.

There are a couple of different ways you can create floral nail art, so it really comes down to your preferred method and the tools you have on hand. But don't worry, we'll cover them all so you can choose which one works best for you.

Like we said, there are a couple of different ways you can create nail art flowers, and each will give you slightly different results.

If you're a complete and total beginner, we recommend having fun experimenting with all of these methods until you find one that feels the most comfortable and produces the best results for you.

Ready to get started? Let's start creating some bloomin' lovely nail art flowers!

We'll start with the easiest method on the list – using floral nail art stickers or decals.

Nail art stickers are like a little cheat code for creating beautiful nail art. You don't have to be an artist or have steady hands to achieve stunning results, and it can save you a bit of time, too.

You can also mix and match different sticker designs to create your own unique flower arrangement, like combining dainty daisies with leaf nail art stickers for a spring-inspired look (we love using our Golden Leaves Nail Art Stickers for this).

A dotting tool might just be the most used way to create a floral nail art look. It has a small metal ball on one end and a larger one on the other, which is perfect for creating intricate designs.

The great thing about using this nifty tool is it allows you to easily control the size of your dots, making it perfect for creating any size of flower on your nails.

The tool you use will make all the difference in the finish of your flower design. A poorly made dotting tool will create uneven and inconsistent dots, while a professional-quality one will create perfect circles every time.

A nail art brush does require a bit more skill and patience, but the results can be stunning. You need a bit of a steadier hand than you do with a dotting tool, but with some practice, you can achieve intricate and detailed floral designs.

You also have a bit more versatility with nail brushes, and you can use different brush thicknesses for different effects.

You can use regular gel polish for this method, but we actually recommend using a solid gel polish, like our Créme CaraGel line.

Solid gel polish gives you more artistic control because of the thicker consistency, and it's easier to work with when creating detailed designs. It still gives you the same salon-quality results as regular gel polish, though!

Now that you've got the lowdown on the different ways you can draw flowers on your nails, it's time to get inspired!

We've dished out some of our favourite flower nail art designs that you can easily recreate at home using our gel polish and nail art tools.

A French mani combined with a delicate floral design is the perfect way to combine these two classic nail trends.

We especially love this look for spring, with the pretty lavender French tips complementing the delicate white flowers perfectly. But you could even switch up the colour scheme to match any season, like vampy nail colours for autumn or cool-toned colours for winter.

Who said that flowers have to be bright and colourful? This black and white floral nail art is sophisticated and chic, perfect for any occasion. The muted tones make it easy to match with any outfit, and the intricate design adds a touch of elegance.

The dotting tool method works well for this design, allowing you to create precise and delicate flowers.

And at the complete opposite end of the spectrum, we have these bold and vibrant neon floral nails!

These are perfect for those hot summer days when you want to make a statement with your mani, or even for flaunting at a festival. The contrasting neon colours and early 2000s vibe make this nail art a fun and playful choice.

Pastel colours are always a popular choice for nail art, and when combined with delicate floral patterns, the result is simply stunning.

Here, we've rolled together intricate flowers and chunky French tips using soft pastel shades for a whimsical spring and summer look. The matte finish adds something a bit different and modern to this classic design, but you could definitely opt for a glossy top coat if that's more your thing.

If you're looking for a super sweet nail look, this design will satisfy your craving. These strawberry and flower nails are fun, cute, and perfect for the warmer months.

Nail art brushes and dotting tools are essential for creating the little white flowers, as well as the strawberries and chequerboard pattern.
