Pro Tips
Practice the gradient technique on a practice nail or paper before applying it to your actual nails.
Ensure each layer of polish is dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Use a thin brush to create more detailed designs for precision.
If you make a mistake, nail polish remover can help clean up edges before sealing with a top coat.
