Pro Tips
Ensure each layer is dry before applying the next color to prevent smudging.
Experiment with different colors to customize the gradient to your preference.
For beginners, practicing the gradient technique on a practice nail can build confidence.
Use a good quality top coat to enhance the shine and longevity of the design.
If using gems, place them while the top coat is still wet for better adhesion.
