I tried to do the gradient nails and I used 6 types of nail polishes although you don’t have to use the same number.
1. First coat – OPI What’s With the Cattitude?
Let it dry totally before going onto the next colour.
2. Second coat – Etude House Lavender PP901
You can brush it onto a sponge and then sponge it onto the nails but I personally prefer to just remove excess nail polish and then brush it downwards. It’s important to remove a lot of the polish so that you get that gradient look.
3. Third coat – OPI Funky Dunkey
Same as step 2 but go further towards the tip
4. Fourth coat – Sally Hansen Deeply Violet
Same as steps 2 & 3 but even further towards the tip
5. I used Canmake’s Colorful Nails No. 30 and Face Shop’s PK107 to add the glitter to the tips
6. Finally, I sealed it all with top coat.
I kinda messed up my nails because my mum was rushing me to keep my clothes and I was moving the ironing board out so iron my clothes.
I had experimented with newspaper print nails a couple of days ago but I didn’t get the desired effect so I turned to the gradient nails! I’m now thinking of next week and I might try out the water marble effect. However, I’ve got an event on Saturday so I’m not sure whether those nails would look professional. Do let me know if you have any interesting or great ideas for nails that I can try out!
