Pro Tips
Use thin layers of polish to avoid smudging and to help each layer dry quickly.
Practice the leaf design on a piece of paper first if you're new to nail art.
Consider using nail stamping for a more detailed and quicker leaf design.
If you make a mistake, you can always use remover to correct it before the base coat dries.
