Prepare the nails.

2
Apply the base coat.
- Apply a thin coat of base polish to each nail.
- Allow to dry completely before applying color.
3
Create the ombre effect.
- Using a makeup sponge, apply the light purple polish to the sponge.
- Start from the cuticle and dab the sponge on the nail, blending up to the tips with dark purple polish.
- Repeat until the desired gradient is achieved and let dry.

Paint the black nail.

- Apply the gold polish on another nail.
- Once dry, use a striping brush to create black designs or patterns.

Finish with top coat and cleanup.
- Apply a clear top coat to all nails to add shine and longevity.
- Use polish remover and a brush or cotton swab to tidy up any excess polish around the nails.
Pro Tips
Practice the ombre technique on a practice nail before starting on your own.
Use a quick-dry top coat to save time and avoid smudging designs.
If you're new to nail art, consider using nail stickers for the detailing instead of freehand drawing.
Make sure each layer is fully dry before applying the next to prevent smudging.
