Pro Tips
For the watercolor effect, try dabbing the nail polish with a nail art sponge.
Practice the floral design on a piece of paper before applying it to your nails.
Use a light hand when painting the details to avoid thick and clumpy lines.
Allow each layer of nail polish to dry completely to prevent smudging.
Apply cuticle oil daily to keep your cuticles moisturized and healthy.
If freehand painting seems daunting, consider using nail art stickers or stamps with floral designs as an alternative.
