Pro Tips
Keep your nail polish bottles tightly closed to prevent drying out.
Work in a well-lit area to see details better when applying embellishments.
If using larger pearls or stones, ensure they're securely adhered to avoid loss.
Consider using a fast-drying top coat to speed up the process.
Practice using the dotting tool on paper before applying to nails for better control.
