Pro Tips
Ensure each layer dries completely before proceeding to the next to avoid smudging.
Use a tweezer to place rhinestones accurately.
If you're new to gradients, start with a light hand and build up the color gradually.
Consider using a gel top coat for extra durability and shine.
Practice on a nail wheel or nail tips if you're unfamiliar with the techniques.
