dots and floral designs, are actually quite easy if you use

Prepare three toothpicks (one for each color). After applying base

Imagine drawing a vertical line on the center of your nails. While
keeping this image in mind, dip a toothpick in the white nail polish
you'd placed on the tin foil, and place a dot on the middle of that
center line. Wipe of nail polish off from the toothpick as you go along
so the rest of the process will be easier. Take a new toothpick and dip
it in the pink nail polish, and place a dot under the white dot. Change
the toothpick once again to draw a green dot on top of the white dot.
The point here is to make sure the three dots are lined up in a straight
line and are in equal distance from each other.

Draw on a pink dot and a green dot on the left side of the line of dots
you just drew. Make sure that each dot is placed somewhere between
the top dot and the middle dot, or the middle dot and the bottom dot.
Do the same on the right side, but with pink and white nail polish.
Where you place each color is up to you, but the whole look will
balance out if you make sure that the same colors aren't next to each
other. Once the dots have dried, apply top coat.

By changing where you place each color depending on the nail, your
nails will look merrier. When trying this out with different colored
nail polishes, we recommend using vibrant colors. Using chic colors
like black, navy, or a wine red will make for a grown-up look.
Whichever color scheme you choose, adding white will create an
effortless look and will bring the whole look together.

Bring the brush while laying it flat from the left end of your nail tip
towards the red you'd just painted in the middle. Do the same on the
right side. Follow the same steps for your thumb, middle finger and
little finger. Even if the nail polish smudges out of line, all you have to
do it wipe it off with cotton buds soaked in nail polish remover, so
don't stress too much and relax as you do it!

Take the green nails polish with the tip of a toothpick and draw stems
and leaves from the root of your nail upwards. Have an image in mind
of drawing a long stem on the left, and a short one on the right. It
may seem hard, but it will look okay with random strokes, do don't
worry too much!

Take some orange nail polish with a toothpick (a little more than you
think) and place four or five random dots around the tip of the stem
on the left. Change toothpicks and put on blue nail polish on the tips.
Draw dots around the right stem, imagining a flower that's long
vertically. The more random the overall silhouette is, the more natural
it will look, so you can draw both flowers without thinking too much.

Change toothpicks once again and pick a small amount of black nail
polish. Apply approximately four small dots on the center of the
orange flower, and five or six small dots where there's space in
between the blue flowers. This creates a realistic look and will bring
the whole look together. Once you've applied top coat after it's dried,
you're all set to go!

The intricate flowers provide an accent to this look and looks quite
professional! By combining beautiful colors like orange and blue while
having green as a base, it will naturally look flower-like so it's easier
than it looks. You don't have to draw the blue flowers too.
