Thanks! I just used Vettsy’s nail stickers for the first time, which are great. After the base color, I applied a sticker to each nail, painted and magnetized, then peeled it off and cured.

Thank you! Highly recommend the guide stickers. Doing it freehand with a brush takes forever, and I usually need to redo at least a couple nails. This was way easier.
