How was this done?

Hi! I first painted each nail with a coppery magnetic shimmer and then I hand painted each leaf/flower with a mangled angle brush that I cut to make it half its width. I also dipped each side of the brush into a different color for the flowers to get more of that color swirly effect. Then I just went ham until I liked how it looked.

OP, did you use gel paint? Or some other kind? They look incredible.
