So, as my first tutorial, i've decided to make gradient nails, one of my favorite kind of nail art.
For this mani, you'll need:
- An sponge (01)
- Scissors (02)
- Cotton (03)
- Nail Polish Remover (04)
- Toothpicks (05)
- Adhesive Tape (06)
- Nail Polish Base
- A nude or white polish
- 3 different shades/colors of polish
- Top Coat
You can use an glitter polish too, as i've done, but it need to be a REALLY THIN glitter, to don't hide the gradient.
These are the polishes that I've used:
- Base 2 em 1 - Risqué (the Base - 01)
- Patins - Impala (the nude - 02)
- Candy - Hits Speciallità (the pink - 03)
- Sweet - Hits Speciallità (the salmon - 04)
- Apple - Hits Speciallità (the red - 05)
- Fizzy - Hits Speciallità (the Glitter - 06)
The red, the pink, the salmon and the glitter polishes are from the Hello Kitty Collection, from Hits Speciallità, an brazilian brand.
The nude polish is from the Disco Collection, from the brazilian brand Impala, and the Base - that I've used as a top coat too - is an base from the treatment line with Orchid Oil from an another brazilian brand named Risqué.
Well, these are the steps:
01 - Pass a base in all the nails (already sanded and without cuticle, if you remove it)
02 - Pass the Nude/White Polish (It will help to don't stain the gradient).
03 - Cut a little piece of the sponge, enough to cover all your nails.
04 - Pass the first color in the top of the sponge, the second right under the first and the third right under the second.
05 - Coat the skin around the nail with adhesive tape, will avoid much of the dirt, and "stamp" the polishes on the nail, pressing the sponge on the nail. Repeat the step 04-05 in every nail.
06 - Add Glitter and/or the top coat.
Easy and beautiful!
But it makes a lot of dirt, so never forget the adhesive tape. And it's not a quick process, so, do this mani in a day without compromises.
Well, this was our first tutorial, I hope you all like it ^^

Thay
