Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is dry before moving to the next step to prevent smudging.
Use tweezers for precision when applying gold foil to avoid touching the adhesive part.
When applying the shamrock, ensure even pressure to prevent polish from seeping under the stencil.
Clean up edges with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover for a professional finish.
