Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is fully dry before proceeding to the next step to prevent smudging.
Use thin coats of polish to allow for quicker drying times and a smoother finish.
For more precision when detailing, rest your hand on a flat surface.
Practice the animal face on a piece of paper before applying it to your nail.
