Prepare your nails.

2
Apply the light blue base color.
- Paint your nails with the light blue nail polish.
- Apply a second coat for an opaque finish and allow it to dry thoroughly.
3
Create the glitter gradient.
- Pour a small amount of silver glitter polish on a makeup sponge.
- Dab the sponge on the tips of your nails to create the gradient effect.
- Repeat until you achieve the desired intensity, allowing layers to dry between applications.

Add white dots.
- Use a dotting tool or toothpick to apply white dots randomly on the glittered area.

Pro Tips
Always apply a base coat to protect your natural nails.
Ensure each layer is dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
If you don't have a dotting tool, a toothpick or the end of a bobby pin can work well.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying time.
