Tutorial: Gradient Nails

Hey Guys!
So as you know every Sunday I paint my nails, and this week I thought instead of just doing a NOTW I would do a tutorial on how I did them. This week I thought I would attempt Gradient Nails.

I used....

• Sally Hansen Double Duty Base coat & Topcoat
• Sally Hansen Insta-dri Anti Chip Topcoat
• MUA Love Heart Range Nail Polishes in U&I, I WANT U, U ROK
• MUA Nail Polish in Shade 5
• 2 Glitter Nail Art Pens From Ebay in Gold and Blue
• A Sponge Eyeshadow Applicator 
• A Sheet Of Paper 

First....

 Apply a clear base coat to protect your nails, I applied 2 coats for maxium protection. I used the Sally Hansen Double Duty Base coat & Topcoat.

Next...

Taking MUA'S Shade 5 nail polish, I applied one coat of  this to 4 of my fingers. Then taking their U&I Shade from the Love Heart Range, I applied one coat of this to the remaining finger. Once all my fingers were dry I applied a second coat.

Then...

 I took MUA's Love Heart Range Shade U ROK, and poured a small amount onto the paper. Then I took the eyeshadow applicator and dabbed it slightly into the polish. Tapping of the excess onto the paper. I then dabbed it up 3/4 of my nails, which were painted blue. I did the same with the I WANT U polish on my nail that was painted yellow. After all my nails were dry, I dabbed more polish onto 2/4 of my nails.

Now...

I took the Blue and Gold nail art pens, and poured some of each onto the paper. Then dabbed a fairly opaque amount onto the tips of my nails, working it up to a more sheer amount. To help add to the Gradient look. I used the gold on my yellow nails, and the blue on my blue nails.
I finally applied a topcoat, I used Sally Hansen Insta-dri Anti Chip Topcoat.

This is how my nails turned out, click the photo to enlarge it.

This is possibly one of my most favourite designs! This look is incredibly versatile, being that you could use any colours. And as many amounts of colours as you want. This is the first time I've tried doing Gradient nails, and they were really easy.

What do you guys think? Have you tired Gradient Nails before?
