Nail Art How-To: Pretty Floral Manicure


1. Paint the base. Paint your nails with a bright base color, like China Glaze "Keepin' It Teal." Add a top coat, and allow them to dry completely.

2. Prepare your palette. Using a bright pink and a pale pink, drop a circle of the brighter polish and two circles of of the pale pink onto a white piece of paper.

3. Paint the flowers. Dab a dotting tool into your bright pink and swirl some of the color into one of your light pink circles. Using your tool, begin applying the mixed polish onto your nail in circular motions. If you need more color, dab some of the bright and pale pink on your nails and continue to swirl them together until you create the illusion of flower petals. Create two flowers on each nail and just one on the top left-hand corner of your accent nail.

4. Decorate your accent finger. Create small dots using a bright yellow polish on your accent finger, surrounding the flower. Allow your nails to dry completely, then add a top coat.

Now, go out and show everyone your super-cute floral mani!
