Pro Tips
Practice your floral designs on a practice wheel or paper before doing them on your nails.
Ensure each layer of polish is fully dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Use a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process, especially if you're short on time.
If gold leaf is challenging to handle, consider using gold polish for a similar effect.
