Vintage Floral Nails

Super cute nails for any occasion!  Best part about it is it's really easy to do :)  
What you'll need:
- buffer and nail file
- base coat and top coat
- your choice of nail polish color
- light pink polish
- darker shade of pink polish
- green polish
- 2 toothpicks

Step 1: smooth your nails with a buffer and file to desired shape
Step 2: wash your hands!  The particles from filing can leave bumps on your nails if not                     washed off.
Step 3: paint nails with base coat. Dry
Step 4: pain nails with desired color.  I used china glaze color: for audrey.  Dry
Step 5: repeat step 4
Step 6: paint random dots on your nail with a light colored pink.  I like to use 5 dots on my                thumb and 3 dots on my smaller nails.  (you do not have to wait for dots to dry,                    infact it's better not to)
Step 7: with a darker shade of pink, draw "U" shapes with a toothpick over the light pink                  dots.  I do 3-4  "U's" per dot.  
Step 8: with another toothpick, draw leaves where there are empty spots.  Dry
Step 9: Top coat. Dry
Step 10: admire your beautiful nails!
Remember, your roses do not have to be perfect! If you mess up, don't worry about it.  Chances are, no one will notice.  :)
the one i'm demonstrating on here are different color polishes from the pic above.
