Prep the nails.

- Finish with a base coat to protect your natural nails.
2
Apply the base color.
- Apply two coats of dark brown matte nail polish, allowing each coat to dry completely.
- Ensure even coverage and a smooth finish.
3
Create the floral designs.
- Using a detailing brush, apply gold foil or detailing paint to create floral patterns on the brown nails.
- Incorporate small dots in blue, pink, and green to mimic leaves and buds.
- Be creative and vary the placement and size of the designs for a natural look.

- Allow to dry completely and then add some random dots in the same colors as the floral design.
5
Seal and clean up.

- After the top coat has dried, use nail polish remover and a clean-up brush to tidy up any excess polish around the cuticles.
