Step 1: Paint a layer of base coat to protect the nails, followed by 2 coats of Red nail polish

Step 2: Blob a little black polish on a thick card / palette. Using a dotting tool with a tiny end, pick up the polish and create a series of mini dots until you make a line

Step 3: Create branches with the black nail polish; it doesn’t need to be neat! :)

Step 4: Dot 4 white polish on the branches to make a flower

Happy Chinese New Year to all of our Venusians, Gong Xi Fa Cai! <3
