Gradient Nail Tutorial With Accent Splatter Nail


I love this look for summer! It's super easy and it takes no time at all.
What you'll need:
Three polishes of your choice- It works best if they are the same color but just a lighter shade.
Black polish for the splatter
A straw
Cosmetic Sponges
Nail polish remover and Q-tips for the clean up
Tin foil
And a base coat and a top coat.
 
First, paint the gradient on to the sponge. Make sure the color will completely cover your nail. It will get on your skin, but cleanup is easy.
When you have the gradient painted, push the sponge on the tin foil to remove the excess polish. Then, slowly roll the sponge over your nail. Don't roll it again until it is completely dry; the polish underneath will come off. Do this step multiple times until you reached the desired effect.
For the splatter, take your straw and dip it in the bottle of the black polish. I recommend dipping it directly into the bottle because it guarantees that you have enough to splatter. After you dip the straw, blow into the other end over your nail with a lot of force. This can get messy, so make sure the tin foil is under your finger, and your fingers are separated so you only get the black on one nail. Make sure you blow through the straw hard and fast so the polish will come out.


After this is done, wait at least 10 minutes and apply a top coat! I told you it was super easy.
