Five ideas to try
Make the petals
Place three to five dots close together in a ring.
Shape gently
For pointed petals, drag each wet dot slightly towards the centre.
Add the centre
Use one small contrasting dot after the petals are stable.
Vary placement
Try one corner flower, a French cluster or scattered micro blooms.
Finish
Seal fully dry regular polish with a floating top-coat stroke.
Salon-ready brief
What to ask for
“Use a simple two-colour flower first, then vary size and placement once the motion feels controlled.”
Useful note
Do not press hard with the dotting tool; the product, not pressure, should form the dot.
