:: Happy Life ::: Nail : Perfect Gradient Nail

Hello everyone, today I am going to show you how to do this perfect gradient nail.

It is actually pretty simple to do but you will need a lot of patient ...^^

TOOLS

Okay... to start off you will need some tools,

As always my base coat is from:

1) Priti NYC #705 2-in-1 top base coat

this is my 2nd bottle... really love it~

Last one I finish it till the very last drop...which is very difficult for nail polishes...in my opinion :P

This is the 3 color I pick for this summery gradient nail, but before you put them on, you will need a pale opaque light color to sort of as a base color, so your nail color on top will be much "BOLD"er then you use just normally.

2) Pale beige : The Face Shop #BR801
3) Yellow : Priti NYC - #460 Horned Poppy
4) Baby Blue : Priti NYC - #499 Lungwort
5) Lime Green : The Face Shop #GR505

To finish up and seal the nail art in place, of course we will need a great top coat:

6) Seche Vite - Dry Fast Top Coat

This top coat dry super fast... it takes around 15 minutes to dry and it dry with a very thick and glossy finish which is prefect.

Other tools you will need are
7) Q-tips

8) Makeup Sponge
(... this is the key in this nail art...)

9) Nail polish remover

Video demonstration

Step 1 :

Base-coat, this is a must do step in my nail routine to act as a base so the nail polish on top won't direct get in contact with your nails... so your nail won't stain or damage that easily.

Step 2 :

Paint a pale light color as a base color so the sheer color add on top could stand out even more.

Step 3 :

Wait 15 minutes until it dries.

Step 4 :

Measure the approximate area you need to paint to best fit your nail size. Here I am using the whole surface of the makeup sponge, as my nails are pretty big :P

Step 5 :

Paint on the makeup sponge, blue > green > yellow accordingly. As we all know blue mix with yellow is green color... so it will be a perfect blends of pastel color platte.

First layer needs to be thicker so the sponge could soak up the nail polish.

Step 6 :

However, if you find yourself are adding too much, use a tissue paper and dap your sponge on it to absorb excess nail polish.

Step 7 :

Roll the sponge on your nail, remember to use 1 direction to create a well-blend effect.

Step 8 :

You will find it pretty messy after you do all your nails... so the next step you will need a lot of patient.

Which is the cleaning step... so you take the q-tip and soak it with nail polish remover. Then just wipe off the nail polish on your finger tips....

...

... yes.. it may take a while...

Step 9 :

So afterwards, you will notice this sponge method create a little texture on your nail pattern but that's normal. As we are going to follow by topping off a thick shiny top coat so it smooth out all the imperfection. :P

Step 10 :

Final step is of course, wait until it dries and it usually take around 15-30 minutes... so no matter how busy you are, stay still and don't move... find something to do that don't need your hands...

Well... maybe watch videos...

yup... that might be a good choice ^^... and

wah-la... you are done!!!
