Pro Tips
Ensure your nails are clean and dry before starting to ensure better polish adherence.
Use thin layers of polish to avoid clumping and help the design dry faster.
Practice your design on a piece of paper first to build confidence.
Use a quick-dry top coat for faster results and to avoid smudging.
