Can I do this design with regular nail polish?
While possible, achieving a photo-realistic effect is much harder with regular polish. Gel polish and airbrushing offer better blending and precision.
What if I don't have an airbrush?
You can try using nail art sponges to blend colors, but the result may not be as smooth.
Is this design damaging to my nails?
Gel polish can be drying, so proper aftercare with cuticle oil is important to maintain healthy nails.
Where can I find reference images for the unicorn design?
Pinterest and Instagram are great sources for unicorn nail art inspiration.
Can I use stickers instead of painting the unicorn design?
While stickers are an option, hand-painted designs provide a more unique and high-quality look.
