1
Prepare the nails.
- File and shape the nails to your desired length.
- Buff the surface to remove any ridges.
- Apply cuticle remover and push back cuticles gently.
- Finish with a layer of base coat and allow to dry.

Create the gradient base.
- Using a sponge, apply dark green polish at the tip and light green polish towards the base of the nail.
- Gently dab the sponge onto the nail to blend the colors for a smooth gradient effect.
- Repeat as necessary until the desired intensity is achieved.
- Seal with a top coat and let it dry.

Add the nail art designs.
- Using a detail brush, paint evergreen trees on various nails with dark green polish.

- For additional flair, add glitter at the tips of the nails.

Finish the look.

Pro Tips
Practice the gradient technique on a practice nail or paper first to get comfortable.
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before proceeding to maintain a clean design.
Use tape around the cuticles if you find it difficult to avoid getting nail polish on the skin.
Consider using a quick-dry top coat to speed up the drying process.
