Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish dries completely before adding another to prevent smudging.
Use stickers or decals if you find painting small details challenging.
Apply the gold glitter polish with a sponge for a denser, more even distribution.
Practice the leaf and pumpkin designs on paper if you're new to detailed nail art.
