Frequently Asked Questions
How do I achieve a truly seamless gradient?
Use a high-quality makeup sponge and blend the colors thoroughly on the sponge before applying to your nails. Multiple light layers are key.
What if the gradient looks too harsh?
Use a very light touch with the sponge and build up the color gradually. You can also use a clean sponge to soften the edges.
Can I use gel polish for this design?
Yes, gel polish works great for gradients. Just cure each layer according to the gel polish instructions.
What is the best shape for gradient nails?
Almond and oval shapes tend to showcase gradients nicely, but square and squoval also work well.
How can I make this design last longer?
Proper nail prep, including buffing and cleaning the nail surface, is essential. Use a good quality base and top coat and reapply top coat every few days.
Is a specific type of sponge better?
A fine-pore makeup sponge is ideal. Avoid sponges with large pores, as they can create a less smooth gradient.

- ✓Avoid picking or peeling off the polish to prevent nail damage.
