Petals beneath glass.

Translucent nude nails with delicate small pale pink and ivory petal silhouettes appearing suspended beneath clear gloss. Ask how the suspended-petal effect will be interpreted; a few flat painted petals offer a simpler home version of the translucent reference. The reference uses medium almond nails; adapt the proportions to your own nails when planning the look.

Steps

Gently shape the free edge; leave the cuticles intact.
Start with clean, dry nails. Apply base coat according to its label.
Apply thin coats of your chosen regular polish and let each layer dry.
On a dry base, draw a thin stem with a fine nail-art brush. Add short paired strokes for leaves or a few small dots for petals using regular polish. Begin with one accent nail; simplify layered flowers to a flat outline rather than attempting sculpted petals.
Add top coat following its label and allow enough drying time.

Tips

Ask how the suspended-petal effect will be interpreted; a few flat painted petals offer a simpler home version of the translucent reference.
Petals beneath glass. Use this original concept as a visual reference. The home version uses regular polish and does not reproduce extensions, raised decorations or specialist salon effects.

Before you begin

Use only regular air-dry polish for this guide. Follow the product labels, ventilate the room and stop if irritation occurs. Do not use damaged or painful nails.
