Pro Tips
Take your time when applying the gradient for a smooth transition.
Make sure each layer is dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Use small amounts of polish on the sponge to prevent overflow during the gradient application.
Consider using nail tape to create clean lines around the palm trees.
Practice the palm tree design on a piece of paper before applying it to your nails.
