Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- Push back cuticles and file nails into the desired shape.
- Apply a base coat to protect the nails.
2
Create the gradient effect.
- Use a makeup sponge to apply dark blue polish to the tips of the nails.
- Next, blend in purple polish above the blue using the sponge.
- Repeat with soft pink polish, gently blending it into the purple.
- Finally, apply light blue polish at the base of the nails, blending upwards.
3
Apply glitter and dots.
- Once the gradient is dry, apply a clear glitter polish over the nails.
- Use a dotting tool to add black dots of varying sizes across the nails.
- Add multi-colored dots using the dotting tool in different areas for a playful look.
4
Seal the design.
- Allow the design to dry completely before applying a top coat.
- Apply the top coat to add shine and protect the design.
5
Clean up any excess polish.
- Use nail polish remover on a cotton pad to clean around the edges of your nails.
- Ensure any smudges are cleaned for a polished finish.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is dry before proceeding to avoid smudging.
For a more opaque gradient, you may need to repeat the sponge application.
Experiment with different color combinations for unique looks.
If you're new to gradients, practice on a nail wheel before trying on your own nails.
