June 13, 2012
We're partnering with some of our favorite nail bloggers to bring you a summer's worth of easy, entry-level designs - minimal skills required! This week, Chelsea from Get Nailed creates a gradient nail design with polka dots. (If you'd like to see your nail art designs featured on Beauty Blitz, drop us a line at info@beautyblitz.com.)
I created a gradient nail with contrasting polka dots in summer colors - its easy to do, but looks difficult. Here's how to recreate the look!
What You'll Need
- Two contrasting nail colors (I used OPI Fly and OPI Red Lights Ahead...Where?)
- Makeup sponge
- Bobby pin (you can use a professional dotting, but I used a bobby pin!)
- Cotton swab
- Nail polish remover
- Base coat and top coat
Step 1
Apply your base coat and base color, and then let dry.
Step 2
Paint the contrasting color on the makeup sponge.
Step 3
Sponge on color, starting at the tips of the nails. Here is a link to my YouTube tutorial on how to do Gradient Nails.
Step 4
Dip the bobby pin in the base color, and make polka dots all over the nail.
Step 5
Use a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover to clean up any stray polish.
Step 6
Apply your top coat, and now your look is complete!
