Sorbet Peach Pressed Wildflower nails

Squoval · Pressed Wildflower

Salon or steady hand

Sorbet Peach with a tangle of thin Milk Bath stalks and small Deep Apricot flowers, none of them arranged.

3 bottles: Sorbet Peach, Milk Bath and Deep Apricot. Sorbet Peach 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.

On a squoval the design has real width to work across, and the rounded corners are what stop the straight walls catching on things.

How to paint Sorbet Peach Pressed Wildflower nails

  1. 1 Buff, dehydrate and base coat, then cure. Three sheer coats of Sorbet Peach — it is translucent, so it builds rather than covers.
  2. 2 Lay the Milk Bath stems down first and let them cross, then dot Deep Apricot heads where they end.
  3. 3 Gloss top coat, cure, then cuticle oil once it is out of the lamp.

Questions about Sorbet Peach Pressed Wildflower

  • Is Sorbet Peach Pressed Wildflower hard to do at home?

    It is the hardest tier on the site. It is doable at home, but the technique is the point rather than the colour. Budget an hour or more 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 Sorbet Peach Pressed Wildflower?

    3 bottles: Sorbet Peach (sheer), Milk Bath (sheer) and Deep Apricot (crème). Plus a base coat and a gloss top coat, which every design here assumes you already have.

  • Does Sorbet Peach Pressed Wildflower 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 Sorbet Peach Pressed Wildflower need?

    More than you would expect. Sorbet Peach 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.
