The lilac is such a gentle, calming color and in combination with flowers, it can turn out to be a really romantic nail art. To copy this idea, first make sure to have two matte nail polishes – one white and one lilac. You can also include more colors for the flowers, but that’s up to you. Creating them the same way as presented on the photo will result in a nice watercolor effect.
