Make sure each layer is completely dry before adding the next to avoid smudging.
Experiment with different shades of purple to customize the gradient to your liking.
If you're new to nail art, practice painting the trees on a piece of paper first.
Consider using nail tape to create cleaner lines for the tips.
Always moisturize your cuticles after completing your nail design for added hydration.
