Start by making a figure 8 pattern using your darker purple and a needle brush. Allow some of the design to go off the edge of the nail bed.
Make another figure 8 over all the existing ones. The shape of the flower should look similar to a four leaf clover.
Fill in your flower with the same purple using a small flat brush.
Make varying lines in length and number radiating from the center of the flower using your light purple.
Make a small square in the center of each flower a needle brush and a dark navy or black.
Use the tip of a needle brush, a small dotting tool or the tip of a sewing needle to make small yellow dots on the four corners of your square.
Using your light blue repeat step 1. this making the figure 8 shape in the negative space, slightly overlapping the purple flowers.
Repeat step 2 also using your light blue. Again the shape should resemble a four leaf clover.
Repeat step 3. Filling in the shape.
Using the same light purple as in the purple flowers make lines varying in length and number on each petal radiating from the center.
Make a small square using your darker purple (the same for the base of the purple flower) in the center of your blue flower.
Repeat step 6. placing yellow dots on the four corners of each purple square.
Using your dark green fill in all the negative space. You can use this step to reshape and define the edges of the flowers if needed. Seal with top coat.
Make small irregular dots using your small dotting tool (which ever used for the yellow dots). This will give the illusion of grass or small leaves to add more depth to the look.
