Pro Tips
Let each layer of polish dry completely to prevent smudging.
Practice the tree design on paper first if you're unsure about your skills.
Use a thin brush for detailed designs to achieve more precision.
If you don't have a dotting tool, a toothpick or a bobby pin works well as a substitute.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process.
