Milk Glass under small Snow White flowers with Marigold middles, smaller and denser than the daisies.
3 bottles: Milk Glass, Snow White and Marigold. Milk Glass and Snow White are close in tone, so the design is tonal rather than graphic. It shows up in daylight and softens indoors. The bottles are not all the same finish (sheer and crème), so the pattern picks up light differently from the ground.
The squoval shape means straight sidewalls and a soft tip: anything built on a grid or a straight line sits truest here.

Questions about Spring Blossom
Is Spring Blossom hard to do at home?
Yes, with a steady hand. The motif is freehand, so the first nail is usually the worst one. Budget around 45 minutes for a full set, and three colours means three chances for something to bleed, so cure between each one rather than working wet on wet.
What polish do I need for Spring Blossom?
3 bottles: Milk Glass (sheer), Snow White (crème) and Marigold (crème). Plus a base coat and a gloss top coat, which every design here assumes you already have.
Does Spring Blossom work on short nails?
A squoval works short: you lose canvas width rather than length, so the motif just sits closer together.
How many coats does Spring Blossom need?
More than you would expect. Milk Glass is translucent, so the colour builds over three thin coats rather than covering in two. Stop wherever you like the depth — that is the point of a sheer.
