Pro Tips
Use a base coat to prevent staining and help the polish adhere better.
For a smoother gradient, ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before applying the next.
Practice the floral designs on a piece of paper before applying them on your nails for better precision.
Consider using tape around the nails to achieve clean edges when applying gradient colors.
Don't rush the drying time; this will help prevent smudging your design.
