Pro Tips
Start with thin layers to avoid bulkiness and ensure even drying.
Practice the ombre technique on a piece of paper to get the hang of it before applying to your nails.
Use a clean-up brush dipped in nail polish remover for any mistakes around the cuticle area.
Avoid soaking the nails in water immediately after the design to ensure durability.
