Pro Tips
Always ensure your base coat is completely dry before applying nail polish.
Practice your striping skills on a practice wheel if you are new to nail art.
Using a top coat can greatly improve the longevity of your design.
For cleaner lines, use tape to mask off areas before applying your gold polish.
