How to paint Japanese cherry blossoms on your nails to give them a more exciting and exotic look.

NOTE: It's helpful to have a few reference pictures on hand. Use a search engine to find various pictures of Japanese cherry blossoms. This will make it easier to paint them on later.

Tools you will need:
- Nail polish remover
- Cuticle pusher
- Nail filer
- Light blue nail polish
- Black nail polish with a thin tipped brush
- White nail polish
- Pink nail polish
- Clear nail polish
- Thin nail polish brush
- Paper plate or small paint palette

(Please ignore the odd date stamp on the pictures in the first three steps. I didn't realize there was something wrong until later)

Step 1: Prepare Nails

Use nail polish remover to take off any existing or leftover nail polish. Then push back cuticles with a cuticle pusher, and use a nail filer to shape nails into a smooth, even curve.

They're very cute. I am doing a report on Japan for school. I think I'll do these before I give my report.
