So I've been told I should do some more tutorials and I realised I've had this one done but not uploaded for a while. This is actually the first gif tutorial I made but I wasn't too happy with it and was planning to redo it. I haven't bothered with that so I hope you can cope with this jumpy messy tutorial.For this nail art you will need two nail polish colours and a small dotting tool.
I used a toothpick.
1. Paint the whole nail with the first colour.
2. Place some of the second colour onto a piece of paper and dip in the toothpick.
3. Make small dots all over the nail but ensure they are well spaced out. You will need to keep re-dipping the toothpick to keep it well covered in polish.
4. On the top three-quarters of the nail make more dots so that they are slightly denser.
5. Keep adding more dots towards the top of the nail until your desired gradient effect if achieved.
6. Cover with a top coat to seal the design and you're done!
I usually try to fill in the tip of the nail completely so it is just the second colour. Also, If you find you've added too many dots you can go back in the with first colour on the other end of the toothpick. I used that technique on the nail below when I'd added too much blue towards the base of the nail.
