Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is dry before proceeding to the next step to prevent smudging.
Use a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process and protect your design.
If new to nail art, use decals or stickers for the more intricate details.
Practice the design on a piece of paper first to get a feel for the brush strokes.
