- Once dry, apply two coats of light blue nail polish, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly.

Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before applying the next to avoid smudges.
Practice your snowflake designs on a piece of paper before attempting on the nails to build confidence.
Use a fast-drying top coat for a quicker overall drying time.
If you're unsure about freehand detailing, consider using snowflake stamping plates for precision.
