  2. Outline Florals: Using a fine-tip brush and white gel polish, lightly sketch the outlines of your chosen spring flowers (e.g., cherry blossoms, tiny roses) onto the nail.
  3. Color & Blend: Fill in the petals with appropriate pastel gel colors, using delicate strokes and subtle blending techniques to create depth and a realistic, translucent effect for a photo-real finish. Cure after each color layer.
  4. Add Detail & Texture: With darker or lighter shades, add shadows, highlights, and intricate details like veining on leaves or distinct petal edges using micro-painting. Use a dotting tool for realistic flower centers. Cure.
  5. Seal with Top Coat: Apply a generous layer of high-shine gel top coat, ensuring smooth coverage over the intricate design, and cure thoroughly for a durable, salon-quality finish.

Expert Tip

Achieving photo-realism lies in layering sheer colors and mastering brush control for subtle gradients. Don't be afraid to build up the depth with multiple thin coats rather than one thick application for a truly lifelike effect.
