1
Prepare the nails for polish.

2
Apply the base coat.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to protect the natural nail.
- Allow it to dry completely before moving on.
3
Paint the base color.
- Apply two coats of lavender nail polish, allowing each coat to dry fully.
- Use light purple polish for additional accents if desired.
4
Create the floral designs.
- Use a detailing brush to paint floral shapes with light purple polish.
- Add white or dark purple accents to the flowers for depth.

Pro Tips
Work in a well-lit area to accurately see your designs.
Use thin layers of polish to prevent smudging during the design process.
If you're new to nail art, practice floral designs on a nail wheel before applying them.
Let each layer dry completely to avoid mixing colors or lifting designs.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to expedite the drying process.
