Top 3 Beginner-Friendly Designs

French Tip Variation

Elevate classic French tips with geometric or floral patterns along the tip line

Geometric Lines

Clean, straight lines are easiest to master. Start with simple stripes or grids

Small Florals

Tiny flowers or leaves add delicate detail without requiring precision

How to Layer Designs Like a Pro

  • Start with largest design elements first
  • Let each layer dry completely before adding next
  • Use registration marks for multi-stencil designs
  • Keep colors light – dark colors are harder to layer over
  • Practice on practice tips before real nails

Sealing & Longevity Tips

  • Always use quality top coat
  • Seal edges by brushing top coat over polish and onto skin slightly
  • Reapply top coat every 2-3 days for extended wear
  • Avoid hot water for first 12 hours after application
  • Use cuticle oil daily to prevent chipping
