Winter blossom
Just in time for the cooler months, nail artist and salon owner Marianka Van Niekerk has designed this decorative, icy look
Step 1
To create this look, select a milky base with aurora flakes.
Step 2
Using a thick liner brush, start pulling petals inwards towards each other. The more gel paint you pick up, the more definition your petals will have.
Step 3
Use caviar and crystals as the centres for each flower.
Important Tip
Make sure to top coat the crystals so that they don’t fall off or loosen from the edges.
