Milky Pink under small hand-painted daisies — Milk Bath petals, Dusty Berry middles, deliberately unevenly spaced.
3 bottles: Milky Pink, Milk Bath and Dusty Berry. Milky Pink and Milk Bath 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 almond taper pulls anything vertical along with it, so swirls and sprigs suit it and evenly spaced dots need allowing for.

How to paint Ballet Pink Daisies nails
- 1 Buff, dehydrate and base coat, then cure. Three sheer coats of Milky Pink — it is translucent, so it builds rather than covers.
- 2 Five Milk Bath dots in a ring, each pulled outward into a petal, then an Dusty Berry centre dot.
- 3 Gloss top coat, cure, then cuticle oil once it is out of the lamp.
Questions about Ballet Pink Daisies
Is Ballet Pink Daisies 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 Ballet Pink Daisies?
3 bottles: Milky Pink (sheer), Milk Bath (sheer) and Dusty Berry (crème). Plus a base coat and a gloss top coat, which every design here assumes you already have.
Does Ballet Pink Daisies work on short nails?
Almond needs a little length to hold its taper. On a short nail the shape reads closer to round, and the design still works, it just stops elongating the finger.
How many coats does Ballet Pink Daisies need?
More than you would expect. Milky Pink and Milk Bath are 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.
