Step by step to creating a basic 3D flower petal.

1. Start out by using a very small brush.

2. Dip your brush into the monomer.

3. Be sure to wipe all excess monomer out of your brush. The brush must be very dry.

4. Dip the brush into the powder. You need very little powder, so don’t hold your brush in the powder for too long.

5. The ball of arylic should be very small and not dripping off of the brush. The ball should appear smooth.

6. Place the ball onto the nail.

7. Using the tip of your brush, drag from the center of the ball to make a point.

8. Using the tip of your brush, make an indentation down the center of the petal. This will create depth, making the petal appear more realistic.

Now, let’s see how it’s done.
