Pro Tips
Patience is key when applying the gradient; allow each layer to dry before adding more.
Experiment with color placement on the sponge to create unique effects.
Use thin layers for the glitter to avoid clumping and ensure an even application.
If you make a mistake, use the cleanup method immediately while the polish is wet.
