Pro Tips
Make sure each layer of polish dries completely before applying the next to avoid smudging.
For better precision, use a smaller detailing brush for intricate designs.
If you're new to nail art, practice your patterns on a sheet of paper first.
Consider using a peel-off base coat for easier removal and to protect your natural nails.
