Pro Tips
Use a thin layer of polish to avoid clumping when painting flowers.
Make sure each layer is dry before adding the next to prevent smudging.
To create even gradients, apply gradual layers and gently tap the sponge.
Experiment with rhinestone placements to add a personalized touch.
Always use a top coat to protect your nail art and enhance shine.
