Glittery gradient nails

For this design, you will be needing a makeup sponge to get the gradient effect. It is easy to do and will dry fast:)

Nail Polishes used

Let's begin!!!!

1. Apply a base coat to your nails and paint them with one or two coats of dark nail polish of your choice and let them dry.
2. Apply the white polish onto the makeup sponge and dab it on a paper to remove excess polish. Now starting from the tip of the nail and moving down dab the sponge on the nail, so that 3/4th of nail is with white polish. Do the same with all other nails.
3. Then apply the glittery polish onto the makeup sponge and remove the excess polish from it by dabbing it onto a paper. Now starting from the tip of the nail, dab the sponge on the nail to cover almost half of the nail with glittery polish. Follow the same for remaining nails.
4. Clean the nail polish on the skin around the nails using a Q-tip dipped in nail polish remover.
5. Finally apply a top coat and you are done!!!

My nail polish collection!!!

                                      I love these kone Helsinki miracle colors. They have a thick consistency. One coat  is enough and they are really glittery. The neon colors have a bit thinner consistency but the colors are awesome. The only holographic nail paint I have is the white one. It is very shiny with lovely rainbow filled holos.

These ones have thick consistency and are beautiful on nails.

                                    Coming to the wild and mild and wild and wet series, they have really thin consistency, almost water-like. So you need to apply atleast 3 coats.

                                      These are Golden rose Fantastic nail paints, metallic colors and my favorite matte nail polishes.

These are the mini nail polishes I have. Among these I like the Happy colors more.

These are assorted ones of different brands like Revlon, Rimmel, Maybelline, Elle 18 etc.
