To re-create the clover design on the pinky finger, for example:
1. Using a thin paint brush and Essie in Shake Your Maker draw four small petals at the bottom and middle of the pinky finger to create two clovers.
2. Using a thin paint brush and Essie Fashion Playground draw two small petals at the side of the nail and top of the nail to create the illusion of the clovers.
3. Using a thin paint brush and Essie The More the Merrier draw two small petals at the other side of the nail and at the top of the nail to create the illusion of clovers.
