Use nail clippers to trim your nails, and a nail file to shape them. Wipe each nail with nail polish remover to get rid of any old polish, dirt, or oils. If you need to, push back your cuticles with an orange stick or a cuticle pusher. For best results, choose 2 primary colors, or a primary color and a related secondary color. For example, you could do blue and yellow or pink and purple. Avoid using contrasting colors, such as orange and blue, otherwise the transition point where they blend together will turn out murky. A flat/creme formula will work the best. Keep color mixing in mind. If you use blue and yellow, the transition point will be green. If you use blue and orange, however, the transition point will be brown. Consider testing the colors on a piece of paper first. Apply a stroke of each color, then blend them together at the seam with a toothpick. If you have brittle nails, consider using a formula made for brittle nails. Allow the base coat to completely dry before moving on. This will serve as a base for your manicure and allow the colors to show up better. If you are working with a primary color and a secondary color, start with the primary color. If you are working with bright or neon nail polish, apply a thin coat of white nail polish instead. This will help make your actual colors show up better. This technique can get messy, so having a barrier between your skin and the nail polish will make cleaning up easier. Liquid latex is the easiest product to use because it dries fast. You can also try school glue (clear or white), or even some petroleum jelly. You can buy liquid latex online, from well-stocked beauty supply stores, and from costume shops that sell makeup. Brush on 3 rows or strokes of your first color to a makeup sponge. Brush on 3 rows or strokes of your second color right above it. Use a generous amount and make sure that the colors overlap in the middle. If you used primary colors, you'll get a secondary color in the middle. For example, if you used blue and yellow, you'll get green in the middle. If you used a primary color and a secondary color, you'll get a tertiary color in the middle. For example, if you used pink and purple, you'll get a purple-pink in the middle. If you used blue and green, you'll get blue-green. Use a rolling motion, where you start at one side of your nail and finish on the other. Repeat this step 2 more times, once with the sponge a little higher on your nail and once with the sponge a little lower. This will help further blend the colors together. Your second color may not show up very well. Don't worry; the next step will fix that. Save time by doing the rest of your nails while the first coat dries. Use a fresh sponge, if you can. If the sponge hasn't been completely soaked through, you can flip it over and use the other side. Do not wait for this second coat to dry. Make sure that the colors are oriented the same way as on the first coat. For example, if you did pink on top and purple on the bottom the first time, make sure that you do pink on top and purple on the bottom the second time. Applying the top coat while the gradient is still wet will help blend the colors together. You can use a regular top coat or a matte top coat. Make sure that you extend the top coat over the top edge of your nail. This will help seal the polish further and help prevent it from peeling or chipping. If your nail still feels rough, apply another layer of clear top coat after the first one dries. Remember to let your first gradient layer dry before applying the second one. Brush on the top coat immediately after applying the second gradient, while the polish is still wet. Wait for the polish on all your nails to dry before continuing. Use a pair of tweezers to peel off the liquid latex or school glue. If you used petroleum jelly, wipe it off with a Q-tip instead. If you got any nail polish on your skin, clean it off with a small brush dipped in nail polish remover. A small, flat brush made from sable or synthetic bristles will work the best for this. Avoid brushes made from camelhair or stiff bristles.
