Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails
- File and shape your nails to your desired length.
- Buff the nail surface to create a smooth canvas.
- Apply a base coat to protect your nails.

Create the gradient background
- Apply a white or light-colored polish as the base coat and let it dry completely.
- Use a gradient sponge to apply pastel pink, blue, and lavender polish in sections, blending them together on the nail.
- Repeat the sponging technique until you achieve desired opacity, letting each layer dry in between.

Finish with top coat

Practice the gradient technique on a nail wheel or practice nails before applying on your own.
Experiment with different floral designs to customize your look.
