Ensure your base color is completely dry before applying designs to avoid smudging.
Use a light hand when manipulating the dotting tool to place rhinestones carefully.
If you're a beginner, practicing the snowflake design on a piece of paper can be helpful before stamping on your nails.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat for faster results, especially if you're in a hurry.
Keep a clean-up brush handy for any mistakes or spills during the process.
