- Ensure the top coat covers rhinestones gently to secure them.

Pro Tips
Practice the gradient technique on a practice nail or piece of paper before applying to your nails.
Use a light hand when applying glitter to avoid overwhelming the design.
If you're new to nail art, start with fewer colors and gradually add complexity.
Ensure to let each layer dry properly to prevent smudging.
Consider using a no-wipe top coat for a more professional finish.
