1
Prepare the nails
- File and shape the nails to your desired length.

Pro Tips
Always allow each layer to dry before applying the next to prevent smudging.
You can use a faster-drying top coat for quicker results.
Experiment with different colors in the gradient to create your own unique look.
If you're new to nail art, practice the gradient technique on a practice wheel before applying it to your nails.
