Pro Tips
Always ensure each layer is completely dry before applying the next one for the best results.
If you're new to nail art, practice the striping technique on a practice wheel first.
Using a fast-drying top coat can help prevent smudging.
Keep your tools clean to avoid cross-contamination of colors.
