Method:

1. Hold the flower nail firmly between your thumb and the rest of the 4 fingers.

2. Pipe a thick round swirl of light green cream using the Noor 11 nozzle to create a base. Make sure the broad side of the nozzle touches the flower nail while piping.

3. Pipe at least 3 swirls one on top of the other to create a firm base to support the flower.

4. Pipe four beads of the darker green cream creating and cross like pattern using the Noor 3 nozzle to create the stamen of the flower.

5. Pipe around the 4 green beads; grass like upwards drop lines with the bright mango cream using the Noor 2 nozzle to create the pollen.

6. Pipe at least 3 lines of the pollen around the stamen carefully.

*Note: make sure the stamen is clearly visible and not lost in the pollen.
