Pro Tips
Ensure each layer is completely dry before proceeding to the next to avoid smudging.
Practice the small detailed designs on a piece of paper before applying to the nail for precision.
If gold foil is hard to manage, consider using gold glitter polish as an alternative.
Using a fast-drying topcoat can help keep the foil and embellishments in place longer.
