Apply the pink polish
- Apply two coats of soft pink nail polish to most nails, allowing each coat to dry.

Pro Tips
Use a lint-free wipe to avoid fluff getting stuck in your nail polish.
For more intricate designs, practice on a nail wheel before applying to your nails.
Let each layer of polish dry completely before applying the next to prevent smudging.
If you're new to nail art, start with simpler designs and gradually add complexity.
Avoid applying too much glue when attaching embellishments to prevent a mess.
