Pro Tips
Work in thin layers to avoid bulky designs and to help with drying time.
Use a quick-dry top coat to speed up the process.
If you're not confident in freehand painting, consider using nail art stickers for the snowflakes and snowman.
Always allow each layer of polish to dry completely to prevent smudging.
