Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use gel polish for this design?
Yes, you can use gel polish, but you will need to cure each layer under a UV/LED lamp.
What kind of brush should I use?
A thin nail art brush with fine bristles is ideal for creating the delicate watercolor effect.
How can I make the colors blend seamlessly?
Use rubbing alcohol to dilute the polishes and blend them together while they are still wet.
Is a white base coat necessary?
A white base coat helps the pastel colors pop and creates a brighter watercolor effect.
How do I prevent the design from chipping?
Apply a generous layer of top coat and reapply every 2-3 days to protect the design.

Yes, regular nail polish works well, especially pastel shades. The key is to dilute it with rubbing alcohol.
