Pink Flowers with Silver

I found this lovely flower pattern done by Tarteofraises and I wanted to give it a try.  I put the colours (8808 Shocker by Rimmel and NL N16 Pink Friday by OPI) on thick and quickly and then tried to pull them down towards the corner of my nail but it didn't work so well.  I tried with a toothpick and then my paint brush but neither really got the look I wanted.  I went with it anyways and added the silver using Quo by Orly 59703 Platinum Glitter which is a striping brush. I know that when Chris really likes it I've done a good job.
