6. Faded Floral Nail Mani

This nail tutorial though seems tough, is quite simple to follow. Start by painting your nails with a light colored polish and let it dry completely. Then place dots of each of the colors you want to use on a plate and using different brushes dilute them with polish remover. With dabbing motions create abstract flower shapes of each color on your nails and as many as you want. Do not stress much on the shapes since that is what the point of attraction of this nail mani is. Once you are done with the flowers, take the polish you used as the base coat onto the plate and add little polish remover to make it thinner. Then using your brush place a small dot of the thinned white polish at the center of each flower. If the polish is thin enough it will spread a little, giving your flowers further faded look.
