Five-petal daisies in Milky Ochre scattered over Ochre Sun, each with an Bronze centre dot.
3 bottles: Ochre Sun, Milky Ochre and Bronze. Ochre Sun and Milky Ochre 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 (crème, sheer and shimmer), so the pattern picks up light differently from the ground.
On a round shape the pattern has a shallow, even canvas and nothing to snag, which is why the small repeating motifs tend to end up here.

Questions about Ochre Gold Daisies
Is Ochre Gold 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 Ochre Gold Daisies?
3 bottles: Ochre Sun (crème), Milky Ochre (sheer) and Bronze (shimmer). Plus a base coat and a gloss top coat, which every design here assumes you already have.
Does Ochre Gold Daisies work on short nails?
Round is already the shortest shape here, so yes, this is one of the designs that works at almost any length.
Do I need a UV lamp for Ochre Gold Daisies?
Yes. Bronze only works as a gel — the effect depends on rubbing or setting the finish into a cured tacky layer, which air-dry polish never gives you.
