- Makeup remover
1. Apply the base coat
Choose a light color for the base coat, such as white, and apply. Let dry.
2. Prepare water
Fill a container with room temperature water.
3. Add drops of nail polish
Add drops of nail polish in the color of your choice to the lukewarm water.
Blow on the nail polish to help it spread in the water and create a nice gradient.
Push the nail polish together to achieve a different design.
You can mix up the colors and designs for each nail. Feel free to get creative!
4. Add the design to the nails
Once the nail polish has dried in the water, use a q-tip to take it out and place it on the nail. See how it looks like a flower petal?
5. Adjust
Pat the nail polish into your nail while it is still wet. Use the q-tip or your fingers to adjust the layout and placement of the nail polish on the nail until you’ve reached your desired flower petal nail art design.
6. Remove excess
Use a brush dipped in nail polish remover to clean off any excess nail polish.

What is the thing the nails are resting on while being polished with the base coat? Makes applying the polish “flowers” so much easier!
And where do I find it?
Has anyone tried this with natural nails?
