Gradient Nails

For this bit of nail art, I used all avon colours to create a pretty gradient look. To create this look yourself, i have found 2 techniques that work!

Technique 1.
For this technique you will need:-

• 2 colours of your choice. Preferably a light and a dark colour. 
• Glitter Top Coat
• Clear Base Coat
• a triangular sponge 
• A toothpick
• Cotton Wool Buds

1. To begin, paint your nails with your clear base coat, to prevent the nail varnish from staining your nail.
2. Paint your nail with the lighter colour of the two you have chosen.
3. Using some sort of plastic surface (I use the lid of a storage box that can be wiped clean with acetone) pour some of each colour on and using the tooth pick, blend/swirl the touching ends together.
4. Getting your sponge, place it into the nail varnish before pressing it down onto your nail. Be warned this is messy and you will get nail varnish all around your nail. This is where the cotton bud comes in! Dipped in aceton, it does wonders getting rid of it for you.
5. Once dry, paint over your glitter top coat.

Technique 2

For this technique you will need:-

• 2 colours of your choice. Preferably a light and a dark colour. 
• Glitter Top Coat
• Clear Base Coat

For technique two, start by using steps 1 and 2. You then literally just stipple the colour onto your nail before putting on your top coat. It's a lot easier! But at the same time less fun!!
