Pro Tips
Practice your gradient technique on a practice nail or paper before applying it to your nails.
Work in thin layers to avoid thick application and ensure faster drying time.
Use a small amount of polish on the detail brush for more control when painting the trees.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat for faster results.
