Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare Your Nails
- File your nails to your desired almond shape.
- Gently push back and trim your cuticles for a clean nail bed.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to protect your nails and let it dry completely.
2
Apply Base Colors
- Apply two coats of the shimmering white nail polish to the nails you want to feature the floral design.
- Let each coat dry completely.
- On the remaining nails, apply two coats of the solid soft white nail polish, allowing each coat to dry.
3
Paint the Flowers
- Using the thin nail art brush and pink nail polish, create the petals of the flowers.
- Start with five or six petals for each flower.
- Add details to the petals with darker pink nail polish to give depth.
- Use a dotting tool or toothpick and yellow nail polish to create the center of each flower.
4
Add the Leaves
- With the thin nail art brush and green nail polish, paint small leaves around the base of each flower.
- Add details to the leaves with a darker shade of green if desired.
5
Finish and Protect
- Once the design is completely dry, apply a generous layer of top coat to seal in the design and add shine.
- Clean up any mistakes or excess polish around the edges of your nails with a small brush dipped in nail polish remover.
- Allow the top coat to dry completely.
Pro Tips
Practice the flower design on a piece of paper before applying it to your nails to get comfortable with the technique.
Use thin layers of polish to avoid smudging and ensure each layer dries properly.
For easier flower creation, consider using nail art stickers or stamps if you're not comfortable with freehand painting.
To prolong the life of your manicure, apply a top coat every other day.
