Pro Tips
Use a latex barrier around the cuticles for easier cleanup of excess polish.
Practice the ombre technique on a nail wheel before applying it to your nails.
For a more vibrant color payoff, apply multiple thin layers of the nail polish.
Be patient and let each layer dry thoroughly before proceeding to the next step.
Experiment with different color combinations to match your style.
