My most resent nail designs involve painting flowers. 

And this is how I to do them: 

You will need: 

2 Colours 

2 different size dotting tools or cocktail sticks and bobby pins

Base coat

Clear coat 

First you will need to pick the two colours that you want as your base colour and one for the flowers. I am going to use Paprika Pumps, which is from Avon and Barry M's Matt white for the flowers as this will make them stand out like the nails above.

Once you have picked the colours, apply your base coat of your chosen base. 

Before applying my base colour I used a clear base coat, as this then keeps the nail vanish on longer and it also stops your nails from staining.

 
I have done 2 coats of the Paprika Pumps
 

After painting the base colour, use either a dotting tool or bobby pins to create 5 dots in a kind of pentagon shape. 

Then once doing the first 5 nails, make sure the dots AREN'T dry as this then allows you to make the flowers. 

 

Use either the smallest size dotting tool or you can use a cocktail stick. Put the cocktail stick or dotting tool to the middle of the blob and drag the nail vanish into the middle of the pentagon. Do this to all 5 dots to create your flower. Repeat this for the rest of your nails...

 

.....And TA-DA, you have completed the flower - Simple but effective! Just put a clear coat on top to make sure it doesn't chip and ruin.
