This is another design which is perfect for the nice Spring and Summer weather ! This is my go-to technique for painting simple flowers on my nails, and barely requires any time at all ! The time required is for the full manicure.

You Will Need (3 things)

  • 2 different sized Dotting Tool (a bobby pin and a toothpick work just the same)
  • 5 Different Coloured Nail Polish
  • Black and white Nail Art Pens (black and white nail polish and a fine nail art brush works fine though)

Steps (7 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    First start with two coats of your base colour nail polish. Here, I used American Apparel T-Shirt.

  2. 2

    Next, make one dot anywhere on your nail using a large dotting tool. I used OPI Funkey Dunkey.

  3. 3

    Now using your large dotting tool still, place four more dots in a circle to make your flower shape.

  4. 4

    Fill in your flower using the dotting tool, and repeat in other places on your nail where possible.
    Painting some half flowers on the edges of your nail make the design look more effective.

  5. 5

    Repeat these steps using a small dotting tool and another nail polish. I used OPI Big Apple Red.

  6. 6

    Using your nail art pens or black and white nail varnish, add small black and/or white dots to the centre of each flower.
    I like to paint white dots on darker colours, and black dots on lighter ones.

  7. 7

    Add some top coat, and that's all there is to it !
