Pro Tips
Always allow each layer of polish to dry before adding more to prevent smudging.
If you make a mistake with the grid lines, don't panic; you can clean it up with polish remover.
Using tape can help create crisp lines and even patterns if you're not comfortable freehanding.
Experiment with different colors and patterns for a unique look each time.
