Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails.

- Apply a base coat to protect the natural nail.
2
Create the gradient effect.
- Apply a light green polish to one half of the nail.
- Apply a darker green polish to the other half.
- Using a makeup sponge, blend the two colors together to create a smooth gradient.
3

Pro Tips
Always allow each layer of polish to dry completely before applying the next to prevent smudging.
Experiment with different shades of green to find the best combination for your skin tone.
If using nail art stickers, ensure the base polish is fully dry before application for better adhesion.
