Add floral designs.
- Using the detailing brush, paint small flowers using the pink polish.

Ensure each layer is dry before applying the next to avoid smearing the designs.
Consider using tweezers for placing rhinestones to keep your hands steady.
Store your nail art tools properly to maintain their longevity.
