The New 31 Day Challenge-Recreate A Mani From The Challenge

Hey everyone!!  Thanks for stopping by!!  Today is the final day of this challenge!  The first time I did the mani for the merge/melt challenge I wasn't quite sure what melt even was.  Then after they were complete and I looked through the other designs I figured it out...like a drip look!  And I loved the one by Peace, Love and Polish so that is the one I decided to recreate.  I stuck with the same concept but changed up the colors a bit.  For this mani I used

3. Add 5 or 6 dot evenly around the center dot for the petals
