Pro Tips
Start with a clean and dry nail surface to ensure better adherence of polish.
For precise stripes, use striping tape and remove it before the polish dries.
If mistakes happen, correct them with a small brush dipped in nail polish remover.
Allow adequate drying time between each application to prevent smudging.
