Pro Tips
Take your time with the floral pattern to ensure precision.
Use thin layers of polish to prevent smudging and ensure quick drying.
If you're new to nail art, practice the floral design on a piece of paper first.
Always allow each layer to dry completely before proceeding to the next step to avoid smudges.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat for faster results and enhanced shine.
