Pro Tips
Make sure each layer is completely dry before adding the next to avoid smudging.
Use striping tape to achieve clean lines for the wave design.
If you're new to nail art, practice on a nail wheel or a piece of paper before applying on your nails.
Consider using a matte top coat for a unique finish, if desired.
