Pro Tips
Use thin layers of polish to avoid smudging your designs.
Let each layer dry fully before applying the next to prevent smearing.
Practice your designs on paper or a practice nail before applying to your nails.
Consider using nail vinyls or stencils for cleaner lines and patterns.
For easier cleanup, apply a layer of liquid striping tape around nails before painting.
