1. Supplies:
-An index card and two toothpicks
-A few different shades of pink/red. I’m using OPI’s Cajun Shrimp, Pompeii Purple, and Miami Beet
-A white/light highlight shade. I’m using OPI’s Alpine Snow
-A few different shades of green. I’m using OPI’s Mermaid’s Tears, Green-wich Village, and Jade Is The New Black. You don’t have to use more than one green, but i prefer the depth it adds.

2. Put a few drops of each pink/red shade and the highlight color on the index card. Use the toothpick to make between 2-4 big splotches of the darkest color on each nail.

3. Dip the toothpick in the highlight/medium shades and make a swirl around the dark dots like so:
