Pro Tips
Allow each layer of polish to dry completely before moving on to the next to avoid smudging.
If you don't have striping tape, you can use a thin brush to create lines.
Practice your designs on a piece of paper before applying them to your nails for better precision.
For added durability, consider applying two coats of top coat.
