Pro Tips
Always start with a base coat to protect your natural nails.
Let each layer of polish dry completely before moving on to the next step for a smoother finish.
Use thin layers of polish for better control and to avoid clumping.
If you're unsure about freehand designs, consider using nail art stickers or stencils for precision.
