1
Prepare your nails

- On a makeup sponge, apply both deep blue and white polishes side by side.
- Dab the sponge onto your nails, blending the colors until achieving a smooth gradient.

Add embellishments
- Once the gradient is dry, use a dotting tool to place small dots of nail glue.

Finish with top coat

Cleanup

Pro Tips
Make sure to let each layer dry completely to avoid smudging.
For a more subtle gradient, use a light hand when dabbing the sponge.
Experiment with different colored glitter for added dimension in the design.
If you find the embellishments too heavy, opt for fewer or lighter options to ensure comfort.
