Ruse, Bulgaria-based nail tech Tanya Angelova discovered this simple way to make a detailed rose nail design. You can find her nail design ebooks on http://www.amazon.com.

1. Prep the nails. After applying gel-polish and curing, begin the decoration. Use red gel-polish to add some flower petals. Add a few red spots. Do not cure.

2. With a cuticle pusher or other instrument, such as a toothpick, draw small curly circles in the gel-polish to shape it into a rose. When ready, cure. Add some green leaves and contours to make the roses stand out.
