Smooth & refine across the top & down its sides.
Sanitize the structure & remove all dust particles.

Using blooming gel, apply to the middle of the nail leaving out the half-moon at the cuticle end of the nail. Do not cure.

Once ready fully cure.
Define the inner petals using a Skinny long brush using white UV/LED gel polish. This will give a highlighted effect, then fully cure.

Apply another random strip diagonally with white watercolor paint.
Add further embellishments, crystals & bullion beads to define the area at the top of the nail.
