Create the gradient effect.

- On a makeup sponge, apply a line of lavender polish alongside the mint green.
- Dab the sponge onto your nails in a stippling motion to blend the colors seamlessly.

Pro Tips
For a smoother gradient, ensure the sponge is damp before application.
Try a quick-dry top coat to speed up drying time.
Experiment with layering the glitter to achieve your desired sparkle effect.
Use a small brush to clean up any excess polish around the nails for a polished look.
