1
Prepare the nails

- Apply a base coat to protect your natural nails.
2
Create the gradient effect
- Apply a coat of bright pink nail polish to the tips of the nails.
- Use a sponge to blend light pink polish towards the base, creating a gradient.
- Repeat the sponge application for more intensity if desired.
- Seal the gradient with a clear top coat.
3
Add the marbled design
- For the marbled nails, apply a layer of light pink polish as a base.
- Use a dotting tool to create swirls with darker pink polish on top.
- Gently drag through the colors to blend while maintaining uneven patterns.
- Top with a clear coat to smooth the surface.

Final cleanup

Pro Tips
Practice the gradient technique on a practice nail to get the sponge technique right.
Be patient while applying the marbled design; less is often more for a delicate look.
Choose flat-back gems and studs to make application easier.
Using a quick-drying top coat can speed up the process, preventing smudges.
