Gradient Tutorial!

Time for the tutorial that I mentioned earlier! I'll be showing you how to do gradient nails. I don't like to play favorites with nail art, but if I did, I would totally choose gradient nails. They are just so easy, fun, and beautiful! Follow these easy steps to get the look!

The supplies:
- 2 to 6 nail polishes
- Cosmetic sponges
- Nail polish remover or acetone
- Q-tips

Step one:
 Pick 2 to 6 polishes to use in the gradient. Pick colors that compliment each other such as orange & red or green & blue.
 
 Step two:
Start with base coat and paint your nails white. Wait for them to completely dry or the sponge could take of the white.
 
 Step three:
Paint your nail polish on the sponge in stripes as shown. The size of the paint should depend on how long your nails are. 
 
 Step four:
Dab the sponge on your nails. The paint will transfer the your nails. Continue dabbing until the nail is completly covered and blended.
 
 Step five:
Clean your cuticles with your Q-tip and polish remover. Then finish with your top coat and your done!
 
The finished product:
