Pro Tips
Use a small detail brush to carefully apply intricate designs for better precision.
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before proceeding to the next step to avoid smudging.
Applying a top coat not only gives a glossy finish but also helps the 3D elements stay in place longer.
Consider using nail glue for extra security on larger embellishments.
