Pink Cherry Gradient Nails

Pink Cherry Gradient Nails


  1. Choose 3 nail polish colors that reflect the palette of a cherry. In my case I had pale yellow, light golden orange and golden wine.
  2. Trim the sponge, you are going to be using to make a gradient, to the size of the length of your nails. This is going to help you to have better control of the placement for a smoother gradient.
  3. Apply base coat to protect your natural nails.
  4. Apply base color, which is a pale yellow here, and allow to dry a bit.
  5. Brush you choice of polish onto a sponge in the order you want them to appear on your nails.
  6. Gently press a sponge onto your nails with your base color covering a bed of your nail (lunula). You may find that you need to do this a couple of times to achieve a good coverage. Alternate the positioning of the sponge every pressing, by bringing it a little closer to a bed of a nail and next time closer to a tip, to create a smooth transition of the colors.
  7. Allow polish to dry and finish with a top coat.

Using the Gradient nails technique, start off the clear base polish, gradually adding the color to the tips of the nails. Nail polishes with a metallic shine work the best.
