Create the gradient base

Pro Tips
Ensure your nails are clean and free of oils before starting.
For a smoother gradient, use light tapping motions with the sponge.
If the glow effect is weak, consider layering more glow-in-the-dark polish.
Practice the line art on a practice nail or paper before applying to your nails.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to speed up the finishing process.
