Cherry Blossom

This is one design that I really love for two reasons. First, cherry blossom itself is already something pretty to look at and second, I can do this very well! Ha!

Here goes...


These are colors you will need. But don't be rigid with them colors. You can be adventurous by trying other swatches too.

The tools needed. Toothpick and hairpin are another form of DIY dotting tool if you don't have one (like me).

After putting on top coat (which is important especially if you are applying dark base colors such as red to prevent yellow nails), apply the base color (red).

Drop a few drop of the black polish on a piece of paper. Use the line brush to draw the branches.

Practice is key to perfection. ^___^

Next, drop some white polish. Use the hairpin to make big dots and toothpick for smaller dots.

Create a round chain-like dots to form the petals. Dot yellow polish in the center of the white dots.

Use the art brush by dipping it into a pure acetone base nail polish remover and clean up the smudges or smoothen out the nail polish near the cuticle.
