Pro Tips
Ensure the base coat is dry before applying colors to prevent smudging.
Practice the gradient technique on a nail wheel before applying it to your nails.
Use a steady hand when applying the black lines to create clean and defined patterns.
Don’t rush the drying process; allow enough time between layers for the best results.
