Pro Tips
Practice your gradient on a piece of paper before applying it to your nails.
Allow each layer to dry completely to avoid smudging.
Use a thin brush for precise application when detailing.
For a softer look, reduce the amount of gold glitter you use.
Don't rush the drying time; patience will ensure a beautiful finish.
