1
Prepare the nails.

2
Paint the base colors.
- Apply the beige or nude polish to most nails.
- On one or two accent nails, apply the orange polish.

3
Create the gradient effect.
- Using a sponge, dab on the gold polish at the tips of the nails with the beige base.
- Blend the gold polish downwards to create a gradient effect.

Pro Tips
Always allow each layer of polish to dry completely to avoid smudging the design.
Use a clean-up brush dipped in nail polish remover for any excess polish around the cuticles.
For added longevity, consider using gel products or a gel top coat.
