Starting at any point near the outer edge of flower nail, squeeze and move tip towards center of nail. Stop squeezing; pull tip

    Flower centers can be highlighted with Wilton Cake Sparkles, or colored sugars. First, dampen finger slightly, then dip in colored sugar; touch freshly piped flower center.
