Dry Flower

Shills Professional Dry Flower is a delicate decorative nail art accessory created to bring natural beauty, texture, dimension, and elegant botanical detail to manicure designs. Featuring fine dried floral elements, it allows nail artists to create sophisticated floral nail art ranging from subtle individual accents to elaborate encapsulated designs.

The lightweight floral pieces can be positioned individually to create customized arrangements, making every manicure look distinctive. They can be paired with clear, nude, pastel, milky, jelly, glitter, or contrasting nail colors to produce a wide variety of effects. From romantic bridal manicures and soft spring-inspired looks to artistic pressed-flower designs and statement nails, Dry Flower provides nail professionals and nail-art enthusiasts with a versatile way to introduce natural-looking decorative elements into creative nail sets.

The flowers can be carefully placed onto a prepared nail and secured using a compatible clear gel or suitable nail-art product. Once properly positioned and encapsulated, the design can be sealed with top coat to help create a smoother, more finished surface while showcasing the floral detail underneath.

Step 1 – Prepare the Nails

Complete the required nail preparation according to the manicure or enhancement system being used.

Make sure the working surface is properly prepared before beginning the decorative application.

Step 2 – Apply the Desired Base Color

Apply your chosen compatible nail color or gel product.

Dry or cure it according to the instructions for the specific nail system being used.

Clear, nude, milky, pastel, jelly, and soft-toned backgrounds work particularly well when you want the floral detail to remain clearly visible.

Step 3 – Plan the Floral Arrangement

Before placing the flowers permanently, decide where each floral element should sit.

Consider the size of the nail, overall manicure theme, and whether you want a minimalist accent or a fuller floral composition.

Step 4 – Pick Up the Flower

Use clean nail-art tweezers to carefully pick up the selected floral element.

Handle delicate pieces gently to avoid unnecessary bending or damage.

Step 5 – Apply a Compatible Product

Apply a small amount of compatible clear gel or suitable nail-art product to the area where the flower will be positioned.

Step 6 – Position the Dry Flower

Carefully place the floral element onto the nail using tweezers.

Adjust its position before curing or setting the layer.

Step 7 – Press Gently Into Position

Make sure the floral element sits as flat and securely as possible against the nail surface.

Proper positioning can make encapsulation easier and help produce a smoother finished appearance.

Step 8 – Cure or Set

Cure or set the compatible product according to its specific instructions.

Step 9 – Encapsulate the Design

Apply an appropriate clear gel or compatible transparent nail-art product over the floral element so that the decoration is properly covered.

Pay special attention to any raised edges.

Step 10 – Cure as Required

Cure the encapsulating layer according to the instructions of the product being used.

Step 11 – Check the Surface

Inspect the nail to make sure the floral element is properly secured and that no sharp or raised edges remain exposed.

Apply additional compatible clear product if necessary.

Step 12 – Seal With Top Coat

Finish with a compatible top coat to help create a smooth, glossy, professionally finished nail surface.

Cure or dry according to the top coat instructions.
