Pro Tips
Always allow each layer of polish to dry completely to avoid smudging.
Use tweezers or a dotting tool to handle small rhinestones for better precision.
If you're new to stamping, practice on a piece of paper before working on your nails.
For a longer-lasting design, apply a fresh layer of top coat every few days.
