Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is dry before moving to the next step to prevent smudging.
Practice the gradient technique on a piece of paper before applying it to your nail.
Use tweezers to handle small embellishments, ensuring precise placement.
Apply the top coat carefully to avoid dislodging 3D elements.
