Try These Variations

- →Introduce tiny specks of gold glitter into the sun designs for a shimmering effect.
- →Alternate between sun and cloud motifs on different nails for an asymmetrical, playful look.

Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file down the top coat to break the gel's seal.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads wrapped in foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully push off softened gel with an orange wood stick; never scrape or force.

FAQs
How long can I expect this design to last?
With professional gel application and proper care, you can enjoy this cheerful design for 2-3 weeks without chipping or fading.
Is it possible to achieve this look with regular nail polish?
Yes, but gel polish is recommended for the crispness of the details and extended wear. Regular polish would require significant drying time between layers.
How difficult is it to hand-paint the suns and clouds?
It's a 'Medium' difficulty. A steady hand and a fine detail brush are key. Practicing on a nail tip first can help build confidence.
What if I don't have a UV/LED lamp at home?
You can use regular nail polish for this design, but allow ample drying time for each layer to prevent smudging and ensure durability.
Can this design be adapted for shorter nails?
Absolutely! The sun and cloud motifs can be scaled down beautifully to suit shorter nail beds, maintaining their playful charm.
How do I ensure the yellow base color is opaque?
Apply two thin, even coats of the yellow polish, curing each thoroughly. This builds opacity without adding bulk.
