Start by cleaning your nails and removing any old nail polish. File and shape your nails to your desired length and shape. Apply a base coat to protect your nails and help the polish adhere better.
Step 2: Paint Your Nails
Choose your base color and apply it to your nails. Let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Using a dotting tool or a toothpick, dip it into the color you want for the petals. Create five dots in a circle to form the petals. Repeat this process for each flower you want to create.
Step 4: Add the Flower Center
Using a different color, create a small dot in the center of each flower. You can use a small paintbrush or a toothpick for more precision.
Step 5: Add Details
You can add more details to your flowers by using a small paintbrush or a toothpick. Create small lines or dots on the petals to make them more intricate.
Step 6: Apply Top Coat
Once you’ve finished your design, wait a few minutes and then apply a top coat to protect your nails and make the design last longer.
