In the middle of ANY stressful day, I have this secret that keeps me cheerful and positive! Yes, I will share it to you today because it works for me and MAY work for you! :)
I like going to Google Images and search for random photos from "Cute Dogs", "Cute Cats", "Cartoons", "Flowers" or simply typing "Funny Photos". There's one photo that totally brightened my day and I've come to realize I haven't drawn this on my nails!

And here's another one that gave me the total inspiration....

And my nail art did not come close to the beauty of what you see above, but it does brightened Mr. AMW and My Mom's Day! :) That is a wonderful start! :)
Step 1:
To copy the "look of greens" at the background, I used 2 coats of Majolica Majorca's Nail Lacquer in GR615. Of course, your choice of base coat is best applied prior to any nail polish application to protect your nails.
Step 2:
Use a light yellow polish to create the "draft", I used a dotting tool to strategically place the positions of daisies. I planned to draw 2 on each nail.

Step 3:
If you do not have L.A. Colors Art Deco Pen in White, feel free to purchase a thin art brush at any bookstore to draw random petals as shown on photo below. I start by drawing the 4 corners then filling the spaces as needed.
This part doesn't have to be perfect as you'll see why at the next steps.
Step 4:
Using a darker, and brighter yellow color, dot the 2nd time for a clear petal look! I am using Caronia Frosted Polish in Sweet Surprise.
Step 5:
Optional - Apply glitter polish on top once nail art design is completely dry.
Step 6:
Protect your nail art design with your choice of top coat. I am using The Face Shop's Top Coat in this tutorial.
