Five ideas to try
Dot daisies
Five dots around a centre create the simplest recognisable flower.
Micro botanicals
Fine stems and two-leaf shapes suit compact nails.
Milk-bath petals
Layer soft petals between translucent colour coats.
French florals
Place tiny blooms along part of the tip.
Bridal white flowers
Use low-contrast petals over a milky base.
Salon-ready brief
What to ask for
“Pick the flower scale and placement to fit your actual nail length.”
Useful note
For regular polish, allow each layer to dry before adding translucent colour.
