Nail Tutorial: Glitter Pink Gradient


Pink gradient nails that sparkle with glitter. Perfect to wear to any fun occasion and on a Valentine's Day date!

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆







MATERIALS:
light pink polish
hot pink polish
glitter polish
baby half pearls a toothpick and some water
top coat
base coat


BASE
Apply a base coat to clean dry hands.

LIGHT PINK
Using the light pink polish apply 1 to 2 coats evenly to all nails. Let the polish dry before moving on to the next step.

TEXTURE
Take a cosmetic sponge and rip it in half. Ripping it will cause the broken side to become ridged.

HOT PINK
Using the hot pink polish, brush a bit of it on the textured side of the broken
cosmetic sponge

SPONGE
Dab the polished sponge over the nail starting at the tip and working upwards towards the cuticle. Stop halfway up the nail.

GLITTER
With glitter polish, paint the tips of your nails.

DECORATE!
Next you are going to use a top coat, a toothpick & a selection of baby half pearls to add some bling to your nails.

Start by painting a thin layer of top coat across a nail.
Dip the top of your toothpick into water and use the wet tip to pink up the pearls and place them on your nails.

Add as little or many half pearls as you'd like!

CLEAN
Finally use a cuticle pusher and some cottonor a q-tip to clean up any messy edges

All Done!
Now you can rock your fabulous pink mani to any hot spot.



Stay Fabulous,
