Pro Tips
Make sure to apply thin layers of polish for quicker drying and a smoother finish.
Feel free to use nail stickers for added designs if hand-painting is challenging.
Experiment with different color combinations to suit your style.
Always allow each layer to dry completely to prevent smudging.
