Pro Tips
Always allow each layer to dry completely to avoid smudging.
If using tape, ensure it's firmly adhered to the nail to prevent polish from seeping underneath.
For precision, consider using a fine nail art brush for detailed designs.
Practice the star shapes on paper before applying them to your nails for added confidence.
Store your nail art tools properly to keep them in good condition for future use.
