Pro Tips
Select high-quality nail polishes for better finish and longer wear.
Experiment with placement of decals to find the best arrangement.
For a smoother application, use thin layers of polish and allow drying between coats.
If you're new to nail art, practice the striped technique on a nail wheel first.
