Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before applying the next one to prevent smudging.
For a more precise polish application, consider using nail tapes for straight lines.
If using loose embellishments, make sure to secure them well to avoid losing them.
Practice your dotting technique on a piece of paper before applying to your nails for better control.
