Pro Tips
Practice the gradient technique on a practice sheet before applying it to your nails.
Use a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process.
If you're not confident with the dotting tool, consider using pre-made nail stickers.
For a cleaner look, use nail tape to outline areas before applying colors.
Ensure each layer is completely dry before moving on to the next step.
