Step1: start by applying a clear base coat to protect your natural nails. Then use a nude base. Mine has a bit of a sparkle to it, but it's fine either way.
Step2: apply a black French tip. This can be a little messy at the base because we will be covering some of it later.
Step3: apply a layer of blue underneath the black. (You can actually use a different color of your choice is you want! I used blue to match my prom dress). Try to blend the black and blue at little where they meet by gently dabbing the polish inbetween the layers. Yes it probably looks bad at this stage, but don't worry, it gets better!!
Step4: apply a sparkly silver polish over the entire nail concentrating at the tip so that it blends the black and blue a little better.
Step5: now it's time to be creative and draw on the flowers. The technique is simple. Make small white dots in groups for the petals. Before the dots are dry. Use a plain toothpick to scrape a thin line down the middle of each dot towards the center to form a flower. Then add some more petals using the same technique. This is what I did on my thumb.
Step6: draw the flowers on the rest of the nails as seen below. Then add some other dots and random lines for more detailing.
Step7: add a top coat to seal in the design. Then clean around the nail with a cotton swab. You're done!
I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial! These nails are great for prom, even if you have short nails! Remember to use any color instead of blue if you want it to match your dress! I hope you enjoyed this and stay tuned for more!
