Love how these gradient nails look! It brightens up my day

So, I'm going to teach you guys on how to do gradient nails. Here are 10 easy steps:

First, you have to apply basecoat to your nails. You can use any basecoat that you have, any will do.

Apply the first choice of color 2/3 all the way down to the tip of your nail. Apply two coats and allow it to dry.

Get the second color of you choice and cut a small piece of a make up sponge (this is to create a stipple effect on the black nail polish so that it won't create a harsh fade line effect)

Apply it to the bottom part of your nail.

Blend the two colors using the make up sponge and let it dry thoroughly.

Get a palette or mirror and do two stripes of both colors

Dip another cosmetic sponge in the middle of both colors and stipple it on your nail (gently stipple it over a few times until it diffuses the line)

Here's an example of a stipple effect. Apply a topcoat to your nails depending on how smooth you want you nail polish to be.

Lastly, use a cotton bud and a nail polish remover to clean up the edges.

And there you have it! Your very own gradient nails.

Had dinner with my friends at Mooon Cafe! One thing I can't forget about that night was when we ordered a set of beer and the waiter who took our orders actually asked as if we were 18 years old! Somehow half of it I took as a compliment and for the other half well, it would just prove to us that we looked like kids because of our height! Poor us.
