Jojo has given some good instructions on how to do roses in the thread "what nails are your sporting today". I have done mine the way she does them and they come out very nice.

Use a darker color to make a somewhat large dot on the nail, cure.

Take a lighter color and with a dotting tool swirl the lighter color over top the darker color until you get a nice swirly rose appearance. I just keep swirling until i'm satisfied.

Cure.

Then, use a green color (I use seafoam..tried the holiday green but it was too sparkly) to make leaves.

I do it all with different sized dotting tools!

I use shellac but don't cure between dark and light to get a better swirly look IYKWIM x

I find that the colors just blend into a lighter color when doing it this way. But if you've had success that way then that great.

To the op-try both and see what works! Good luck.

Very pretty . I find if I use gelish white it doesn't seem to stay white after couple of days

Which white are you using? I've never had that problem with Sheek White.

My roses, tried all ways and found curing then adding pink/white swirling was the best technique for me. I am sooo pleased. Thanks for all your responses!xx

ahhh iv only tried with shellac so might be different with gelish? i just swirled a little and seemed okay. Must try with curing in between! xx
