Pro Tips
Practice the gradient technique on a nail wheel before trying it on your nails.
Keep a steady hand while painting the leaves for a more professional look.
Use a small amount of polish on your brush to avoid overloading and smudging.
For easier cleanup, apply liquid latex around the cuticles before starting your design.
Be patient and allow each layer to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
