Common Mistakes to Avoid & Tips
Although this nail art design is quite simple and easy to do, mistakes can happen. Here are some common ones to avoid & what to do instead when creating Pot of Gold nail art:
- Smudging of nail polish: Use a thin coat of nail polish, and allow each layer to dry completely before applying another one. You can also apply a base coat for a smooth application.
- Bumpy texture: Apply thin layers of nail polish, and opt for high-quality nail polish. You can also use nail polish thinner to smooth out bumps.
- Difficulty creating clean lines: Use a nail polish remover-dipped toothpick to clean up any mistakes.
- Difficulty creating the rainbow arch: Use a thin nail polish brush and slowly paint the arch from one end of the nail to the other.
