"Art Gallery" showcases the nail art of some of the best artists in the industry. Every month, the column features four to six nail art designs created by one or more of our readers with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. The nail art usually follows a theme for an upcoming holiday or season and depicts that theme in creative, easy-to-replicate designs. The column also provides promotional tips to help readers make the most of their nail art businesses.

1 Polish the nail red.
|
2 Pick up a small, dry bead of white then pink acrylic. Press it down to flatten and thin it out as if you were making the petal of a flower. Continue in an arch across the nail.
|
3 Place a small white bead of acrylic at the corner near the cuticle. Using the same technique as above, create a bow. Use white acrylic with a touch of pink for the ends of the bow.
|
4 Use small, dry beads of pink acrylic to line the arch of the petals and around the bow.
