Pro Tips
Ensure your base coat is fully dry before applying the yellow polish for the best adhesion.
Practice your striping technique on a piece of paper before applying it to your nails.
Consider using a fast-drying top coat to speed up the overall process.
If you're new to nail art, start with one or two accent nails to practice without overwhelming yourself.
