Pro Tips
Ensure that each layer is completely dry before moving to the next step to avoid smudging.
For more intricate designs, consider using stamping plates for easier floral patterns.
Always test out colors on a spare nail or practice wheel to see how they look together.
Invest in quality tools for cleaner lines and easier detailing.
