Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before moving to the next step to prevent smudging.
Use a quick-dry top coat to speed up drying time.
Practice the bat and ghost designs on a piece of paper if you're new to freehand nail art.
If your brushes are too thick for detailed work, consider trimming them to create a finer tip.
