For natural-looking nails with a flowery twist, this rose water-inspired mani is the way to go

Two close-up pictures of hands with sheer, tinted 'rose water'-style nails, both created by nail artist and Digital content creator Mateja Novakovic (@matejanova)/ featured in a cream template with pink rose petals and sheer pink nail polish drops.

Rose water has been used in beauty practices and products for thousands of years. It's beloved not only for its scent but also its hydrating benefits, with rose water sprays, for instance, considered to be a staple skincare buy.
