Pro Tips
Ensure that the base coat is completely dry before applying polish layers.
Practice stamping on a piece of paper to get the technique right before applying to your nails.
For a more precise tip application, consider using nail striping tape as a guide.
If you make mistakes while stamping, clean with polish remover before the polish dries.
Be patient while waiting for each layer to dry to avoid smudging.
