Step by Step

Step 1
Before you begin, prepare a mixture of different crumbled dry nail art flowers.
Step 2
After proper Powder Perfection nail prep, apply 1 coat of Powder Perfection Step 1 Base Coat and dip nail into Funny Bunny. Dust off excess powder.
Step 3
Apply OPI Powder Perfection Base Coat to a section of the nail and quickly add dried flowers using tweezers, then press flowers into base coat. Continue to add more sections until you've covered the nail.
Step 4
Apply more OPI Powder Perfection Base Coat to saturate the flowers and the entire nail, then dip into Funny Bunny again and use an orange wood stick to press down flowers. Dust off excess powder.
Step 5
Apply one more coat of OPI Powder Perfection Base Coat to the entire nail and dip into OPI Powder Perfection Clear Color Set Powder. Dust off excess powder.
Step 6
Apply a liberal amount of Powder Perfection Step 2 Activator to the entire nail.
Step 7
Once the nail is cured, file down the bulk and bumps of the nail using a sanding band on an e-file, or an EDGE 180 File. Shape and buff as usual. Dust off excess powder.
Pro Tip: It is important to file the nail smoothly to expose some of the dried flowers. The idea is to have flowers resemble flowers floating to the top of a milk bath.
Step 8
Apply 1 coat of OPI Powder Perfection Step 2 Activator. Wait 2-4 mins.
Step 9
Apply 2 coats of OPI Powder Perfection Step 3 Top Coat, allow each coat to dry.
