Pro Tips
Always use a base coat to protect the natural nail and allow for easier removal.
Practice dotting on a piece of paper before applying on nails for more control.
Use a small brush to clean up any polish on the skin around the nails for a neat finish.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process.
