1. Prep the nail for gel-polish application and apply gel base coat. Apply one coat of CND Shellac Cake Pop in the shape of a flower at the tip of the nail and cure.

2. Apply a second coat of CND Shellac Cake Pop over the floral design and cure.

3. Use a fine brush or dotting tool to draw a small oval at the center of the flower in white gel-polish. Draw several fine lines coming out of the center of the oval and cure.

4. Using a fine brush and black gel-polish, draw a smaller oval inside of the white oval. Add a stem along the outer edge of the flower and cure.
