Pro Tips
Start with clean, dry nails to ensure better adhesion of products.
Use thin layers of glitter polish to achieve a more blended gradient.
Practice your line art designs on a nail wheel or paper before applying to your nails.
Allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process.
