Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before proceeding to the next step for the best results.
Experiment with the amount of polish on the sponge to achieve the desired gradient intensity.
For perfectly round dots, practice using the dotting tool on a piece of paper before applying to your nails.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process.
