When writing your image prompt, specify as many details as possible, like nail style type (dip, gel, etc.), color palettes, length, and patterns. Try prompts like these to get started:
- Create nail design concept art featuring dipped acrylic nails in different shades of pink and a daisy design on the ring finger.
