Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- File your nails to the desired shape.
- Gently push back your cuticles and trim if necessary.
- Buff the surface of your nails lightly.
- Clean the nail surface with nail cleanser and a lint-free wipe.
2
Apply the base color.
- Apply one to two coats of white or off-white nail polish to most of your nails, allowing each coat to dry completely.
- Apply one to two coats of light blue nail polish to the ring finger, allowing each coat to dry completely.
3
Create the floral designs.
- Using a thin nail art brush or dotting tool, create small flowers on the white base nails.
- Use different colors (pink, purple, yellow) to create variety.
- Add small green leaves around the flowers.
- For the ring finger, paint a large daisy using light pink for the petals and yellow (or brown) for the center.
- Add green leaves around the daisy.
4
Clean up any mistakes.
- Dip a small brush in nail polish remover and carefully clean up any polish that got on your skin around the nails.
5
Apply a top coat.
- Apply a generous layer of clear top coat to seal in the design and add shine.
- Allow the top coat to dry completely.
Pro Tips
For beginners, consider using nail art stickers or water decals with floral designs instead of freehand painting.
To prevent smudging, ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before applying the next.
Use a very thin brush for detailed work, or use a dotting tool for creating small dots as flower centers.
When painting the floral designs, start with the largest elements (like the daisy on the ring finger) and then fill in the smaller details.
If you make a mistake, don't worry! Simply use a brush dipped in nail polish remover to correct it.
Apply cuticle oil daily to keep your nails and cuticles moisturized.
