Pro Tips
Always do a patch test with new products to avoid allergic reactions.
Use a small amount of top coat for even surface without overwhelming the embellishments.
Practice the gradient technique on a practice nail if you're new to it.
Be patient with the layering process; let each layer dry before adding the next to avoid smudging.
Experiment with different shades of purple to find a combination that suits your style.
