Pro Tips
Practice your designs on a nail wheel before applying to your nails for better results.
If you're new to nail art, start with simpler floral patterns and gradually add complexity.
Always allow each layer of polish to dry thoroughly to avoid smudging the design.
Use a fast-drying top coat for quicker results and to reduce the chance of smearing.
