Pro Tips
Work in thin layers to avoid thick applications of polish.
Allow each layer to dry completely before moving on to the next step for the best results.
Practice your floral designs on a practice sheet if you're not confident.
Use tape to create sharp lines for the gold tips if needed.
Keep your tools clean to avoid any smudging or color mixing.
