Pro Tips
Take your time while painting to avoid smudges.
Use a fast-drying top coat to speed up the process.
If you're new to nail art, practice wave designs on a piece of paper first.
Ensure your nails are clean and dry before applying any polish for optimal results.
Experiment with designs on one or two nails first before committing to all fingers.
