Pro Tips
Practice the wave design on a practice mat before applying it to your nails.
Use a small dotting tool for painting flowers to achieve precision.
Apply multiple thin coats of polish to avoid smudging and to achieve an even finish.
Allow sufficient drying time between each step to prevent smearing.
Don't overload the brush with polish to prevent drips and uneven application.
