Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before adding the next to avoid smudging.
Practice your nail art on a practice wheel or fake nails before doing it on your own nails.
Use tape for clean lines and borders, especially when painting detailed designs.
Keep a steady hand when using detail brushes; rest your hand on a stable surface for precision.
