Gradient nails are easy and fun, once you get the hang of it. I think that colors with similar finishes are the easiest to use and the most forgiving.
Gradient nails are easy and fun, once you get the hang of it. I think that colors with similar finishes are the easiest to use and the most forgiving.
Gather your supplies: two colors of polish in a similar finish, a few cosmetic wedges, and some foil.
Paint your nails with your base color and add a top coat. The topcoat will make it easier to correct any mistakes.
Apply two stripes of your polishes to a cosmetic sponge. Your base color should be closest to the edge.
Blot a few times on the foil to remove the excess.
Blot onto the nail. Repeat using a back-and-forth motion until the colors are well blended. You can use the same sponge for the whole hand, reapplying color to is as needed.
While your nails are still wet, apply another coat of topcoat to help blend the colors and smooth any bumps. Enjoy your awesome manicure.
