Style Tips
Best Nail Shape: Works exceptionally well on medium-to-long almond, oval, or coffin nails to accentuate the French tip curvature.
Accessory Pairing: Accentuate the look with vintage gold rings, emerald gemstones, or plush velvet fabrics for formal events and holiday seasons.
Pro Precision: Use a clean nail art brush dipped in rubbing alcohol to sharpen the smile line of your gold tips before curing.
