Pro Tips
Ensure each layer is completely dry before proceeding to the next step to prevent smudging.
Practice drawing the tie and mustache on paper if you're freehanding to ensure accuracy.
If new to nail art, consider using stickers or decals for precision.
Use a fast-drying top coat to minimize drying time and add shine.
