Prepare the nails.

Create the gradient effect.

- Dab the sponge onto the nail, blending the two colors together.
- Repeat for all nails until you achieve the desired gradient.

Add floral patterns.
- With a small paintbrush, use silver polish to create floral designs on selected nails.
- For added detail, use a dotting tool to place small dots around the floral designs.

Finish the design.
- Once everything is dry, apply a top coat to seal the design.

Pro Tips
Make sure to allow each layer of polish to dry before applying the next one for best results.
If you're new to gradient nails, practice on a piece of paper before applying to your nails.
Consider using nail tape to create clean edges for the gradient effect.
For a longer-lasting finish, apply a second layer of top coat after a few days.
