Chalkboard Flower Nail Tutorial!!

Hey everyone! I'm really excited to show you all my first tutorial! I decided to do my Chalkboard Flower Nails since a few ladies asked me on Instagram to do them. So, without further adieu, let's begin!
Step 1: Paint your nails all black or a dark color. Remember, think old fashioned chalkboards from school!
Step 2: With a small dotting tool, make five dots in a circle on your nail.
Step 3: With a toothpick, drag the center of each dot towards the center of the dots (see the flower being formed?!)
Step 4: Here's where it's up to you and your nail length. Repeat steps 2 and 3, creating atleast four (4) flowers onto your nails. What I chose to do was two white flowers and two colored flowers. You can do whatever colors you feel, but focus on having ONE color per nail.
Step 5: Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the other color polish
Step 6: Dot random colored dots onto your nails to fill in some of the gaps and apply either a rhinestone or a glitter polish into the center of your flowers. Apply a matte top coat and enjoy your nails!

These nails are really simple, yet get many compliments. The more colors you add, the more attractive it can get. Get creative with your colors, this is YOUR chalkboard that you get to flower up (take that teacher who said we can't color on the board! lol) Here's the full view of my chalkboard nails with just blue polishes and rhinestones:
Here is the original Chalkboard Flower mani with various colored polishes and glitter centers:
No matter what you do, you really can't go wrong with your flower color choices and you can't go wrong with how your flowers look. Most of mine aren't perfect and they ended up being some of my favorite ones!
