Pro Tips
Work one nail at a time to ensure better control over the design.
Use a quick-dry top coat to speed up your drying process.
If you're new to gradients, practice on a practice wheel before applying to your nails.
Don't rush the detailing; take your time to make each design element precise.
Always allow each layer to dry before moving on to the next step to prevent smudging.
