Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before moving to the next to avoid smudging.
Practice the silhouette designs on paper first if you're using freehand techniques.
Use a peel-off tape around your nails for easier cleanup during stamping or painting.
Experiment with different Halloween patterns like witches or pumpkins for customization.
