Learn how to create gradient nails using the wet sponge method, then enhance the design with some stamping and studs.

Instructions

  1. Small 105200 2f2014 10 30 064547 dsc04722

    Apply a white base coat. This will allow the gradient to show up better since creating the gradient doesn't apply a lot of polish to the nail.

    Sponge on the gradient. ◦Soak a make-up sponge in water, then ring out the water. ◦Paint a couple swipes of each polish in the order you want them. Here, paint blue first, followed by purple and pink. ◦Dab on the nail. ◦For darker colors, add more polish to the sponge and dab again.

  3. Stamp the dream catcher and feather using black stamping polish on the middle and ring fingers.
