"May flowers have come early to your mani! There are a few techniques for creating a rose-like designs on your nails, but this dotting method from celebrity manicurist Karen Gutierrez is definitely one of the easiest. Plus, the glitter half-moon adds an extra glam touch! Check out the simple step-by-step tutorial below.  1. Apply a basecoat, then one coat of a gold glitter nail polish on top. 2. Apply an opaque white polish, stopping just slightly above the cuticle to let the glitter peek out. Add a second coat if needed. 3. To create the flower shape, use a dotting tool or bobby pin dipped in a light pink polish to make 5 dots in a circle. Let dry. 4. Using the same technique, layer a dark pink polish on top, making sure these dots are in between the first set. 5. Dot the center with the light pink polish and white polish and carefully swirl the two colors together before applying to the center of each flower. 6. Put two dots of mint green polish on either side of each blossom, dragging out just slightly to create a leaf shape. Finish with a clear topcoat after your nails are completely dry.
