" Nail artist Simcha Whitehill aka Miss Pop shows you exactly how to recreate this vintage-looking floral mani with ease.  1. Prep. File your nails into the desired shape, push back your cuticles \u2014 DO NOT CUT THEM! \u2014 and then apply one layer of a base coat polish, followed by two coats of YSL &amp;quot;Beige Gallery 39.&amp;quot;  2. Create a flower. To do so, use a pink shade, like Deborah Lippmann &amp;quot;Shape of My Heart,&amp;quot; get a bead of polish on the tip of the brush, and then spread out a few drops randomly on each nail. 3. Add leaves. Using a small paint brush or striper brush, create a leaf shape by drawing a narrow pointed oval, and then filling in the open space with a deep green shade, like OPI &amp;quot;Here Today \u2026 Aragon Tomorrow.&amp;quot;  4. Outline the flower buds. Dip the same thin striper brush in Essie &amp;quot;Licorice,&amp;quot; and then outline each bud with two black parenthesis. Then, inside each bud, create a &amp;quot;V&amp;quot; shape in two short strokes. &amp;quot;To get that sketch pad look, your lines should simply suggest the shape and not be perfectly drawn on,&amp;quot; Whitehill says.  Finally, wait a few minutes for your artwork to set. Then seal your look with topcoat.  Voila! Chic, vintage-looking nails that people will pin the hell out of. Now, Instagram and tweet your DIY design with the hashtag #CosmoManiMonday.
