Allow each layer to dry completely before moving to the next step to avoid smudging.
Practice your designs on a piece of paper before applying them to your nails to build confidence.
Consider using nail vinyls or stickers for cleaner lines if freehand painting is challenging.
Experiment with different colors to personalize the design to your taste.
Always apply a top coat to extend the life of your nail art and maintain its vibrancy.
