2
Create the gradient effect.
- Apply light pink polish at the base of your nails.
- Using a makeup sponge, blend light blue and beige at the tips.
- Gently dab the sponge on your nails to create a seamless gradient.
- Repeat as necessary for opacity and let it dry.

Add the gold glitter accent.
- Paint one nail with a gold glitter polish.
- Apply multiple coats if needed for full coverage.
- Allow the glitter polish to dry completely.

Pro Tips
Use a light hand when dabbing the sponge to blend the gradient smoothly.
Ensure each layer is completely dry before applying the next to prevent smudging.
Position the rhinestones carefully for a symmetrical appearance.
For extra longevity, reapply the top coat every few days.
