Pro Tips
Take your time with the floral design to achieve clean lines and details.
For easier application, practice the flower design on a piece of paper before painting your nails.
Ensure each layer is fully dry before moving to the next to prevent smudging.
Use a thin top coat layer over the butterfly gem to prevent dulling its shine.
Choose a good quality base and top coat to enhance durability and shine.
