1
Wash your nails well. Dry them with a towel and file the nails to give the perfect trim look. Place your hand or feet (whichever you are painting) on a clean flat surface.
Now apply a base coat of any colour that you want. This will serve as the background of you flower so choose the colour wisely. Do this on all the nails and let the coat dry before proceeding. This course will of course be applied using the nail polish brush. After the first coat dries, apply another coat to make a firm base and let it dry. -

Choose easy flowers to make during the initial experiments. A daisy is an easy design anyone can make and manage. Put a drop of the chosen nail colour on a plate. Dip a toothpick into it and start drawing a daisy on the nail, over the base coat. It is very necessary that the base coat is totally dry before you proceed because else all effort will be ruined when the polishes meddle with each other.
Start with making petals first in a way that they make a circle around the dot in the centre which you leave unpainted. Five or six petals will be enough to cover the pattern. The size of the petals depends on your nails. -

Put a drop of another nail colour on the plate and paint the small space in the centre of the circles so that it is differentiated. Let the design dry completely. Use a different toothpick and a different nail colour for this purpose. It is better to let the petals dry before you fill the centre.
