Pro Tips
For a smoother gradient, dab the sponge lightly and build up layers gradually.
Experiment with colors to find a gradient that suits your style best.
If you’re new to nail art, practice on a piece of paper before applying to your nails.
Ensure each layer dries completely to avoid smudging your designs.
