Cleanup.

Pro Tips
Always let each layer of polish dry completely before adding the next to avoid smudging.
Use a makeup sponge for better control and blending of the gradient effect.
Experiment with different sizes of hearts to add variety to the design.
If you're not comfortable with freehand designs, consider using heart-shaped stickers.
