Pro Tips
Ensure each layer is dry before moving to the next to prevent smudging.
Use tape around your nails if you're concerned about getting polish on your skin during the gradient application.
Make use of nail art stickers for the designs if you’re not confident with painting freehand.
Apply thin layers of polish to ensure a smooth and durable finish.
