Ensure each layer of polish is dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
For best results, use a high-quality top coat that enhances shine and durability.
Experiment with different embellishments to personalize your design.
Practice the gradient technique on a practice sheet before applying it to your nails.
If you make a mistake, a small brush dipped in remover can help clean up errors easily.
