Nail technique, Gradient Fading Colors!

Well I have seen a ton of nail designs with the gradient look. I've looked up on how to accomplish this look, and found two ways. First way was to use acrylic paint, sweep it on the nails, and hit it with a dry coat. Well we all know how my paint as nail polish test went...so I went for the other way. Using a simple makeup sponge and time!

For This Technique I Used the Following:

• Sally Hansen continuous vitamin release treatment 
• Sally Hansen hard as nails (my nails have been brittle as of recently) 
• Wet N Wild Break The Ice 
• Sally Hansen Xtreme wear Ivy League and Marine Scene 
• Medical tape 
• Double Ended Q-Tip 
• Nail Polish Remover Sally Hansen 
• Quick Dry Top Coat 

I applied the base coat to my nails after shaping and cleaning them. When that dried I put medical tape around the sides of my nails and cuticle. I only did this on two fingers, I had to get this done within an hour and this was a bit time consuming.

Next I cut a makeup sponge into a thin piece that could coat my nail and not be too long, I made it as little longer than my longest nail.My first application I applied the polish on my thumb and noticed it was very light, so I did one coat of Break The Ice to help it stand out a bit better. I brushed the polish onto the sponge so they met in the middle, and just dabbed the sponge across my fingernails.
