Prepare your nails.

- Dab the sponge on the tips of your nails, gradually fading towards the cuticle.
- Repeat until the gradient is smooth, then let dry.

- Allow the trees to dry completely before moving on.
4
Add gold glitter accents.
- Apply gold glitter polish to the base of the gradient on each nail.
- Use a dotting tool to add small dots of gold glitter for added decoration.

Finish with top coat.

- Clean up any excess polish around the cuticles with a brush dipped in nail polish remover.
Pro Tips
Practice the gradient technique on a nail wheel or practice tips before applying it to your nails.
Make sure to let each layer dry completely to avoid smudging your designs.
Use a clean brush to apply your top coat for a smoother finish.
Try using a peel-off base coat to make clean-up easier.
