Green creme and duochrome quatrefoil: Third attempt

About a month ago I posted my second quatrefoil nail art attempt, and back in May I posted my first. The way I see it, the first attempt was a fail as I wasn't paying attention to where I was placing those goddamn first dots, as Margaret of @m_a_tom on Instagram so kindly pointed out to me (for her helpful hints, see here). The second was better, but I realized later that I'd placed the little ticks that extend from the dots at the wrong intersection... woops.

The 'quatrefoil' technique initially came out of the genius mind of Christabell Nails earlier this year, and many have gathered the courage to try. After this, my third attempt, I think I can go without the quatrefoil mani haunting my dreams for a while.

For the record this mani was done and photographed before I knew how to use the aperture function on my camera.... :|

Yes it's very possible to do both hands with this technique! Super easy with a dotting tool. Check out my cute nubs:
