- On a makeup sponge, apply deep pink polish in a line at the top.
- Dab the sponge onto the nail, blending downward to create a gradient effect.
- Repeat the process until the desired opacity is achieved, then let it dry.

Pro Tips
For a softer gradient, use a light hand when applying the sponge to blend colors.
Make sure each layer is fully dry before adding the next to prevent smudging.
Invest in quality nail polishes for better pigmentation and longevity.
Practice the gradient technique on a practice nail beforehand if you're new to it.
