Create a Majolica inspired flower manicure! You'll need a detail brush and a small dotting tool or toothpick, as well as several different polishes. You could easily do this with 2 colors, alternating for each step, but I like the bright colors all together.

Paint your base color and let it dry completely. I always use a top coat between my base color and my nail art, but this is personal preference.
With your detail brush, paint a plus sign in the middle of your nail.
Create another plus sign, but rotated at 45°. This should create 8 different "petals."
Using your detail brush, fill out each petal using the lines from steps 2 & 3 as your template. Try to create 8 tiny ovals.
Repeat steps 2 & 3 on a smaller scale with a new color.
Create the first inner petals by making tiny triangles, again using the line work from step 5 as your template.
Using your dotting tool and a new color, create the inner flower with either a simple dot or 8 tiny dots in each triangle (as I have shown).
Repeat Step 7 with your final polish color.
If you want to add some dimension to your flower, paint some darker orange and red on the outer petals. Add your favorite top coat after let your polish dry for a bit and you're done!
