Pro Tips
Ensure the gradient blending is done while the polish is still wet for a smooth transition.
Practice the palm tree design on a nail wheel before applying on your own nails.
Use a smaller brush for finer details to get the palm trees accurate.
Be patient and let each layer dry thoroughly to avoid smudging.
Experiment with different colors for the gradient to create a unique look.
