Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before proceeding to the next step to avoid smudging.
For an even gradient, practice the sponge technique on a piece of paper first.
Use a fan brush to lightly apply glitter for a more controlled and even distribution.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to expedite the drying process.
