Pro Tips
Make sure to let each layer dry completely before applying the next for a smooth finish.
If you don’t have a stamping kit, you can hand-paint the floral designs using a fine brush.
Use a fast-drying top coat if you're in a hurry.
Practice the ombre technique on paper before applying it to your nails to get the blending right.
Enjoy the process and make adjustments according to your style preferences.
