Leopard Gradient Nails



For the the ombre nails-

 1. Apply a base coat to prevent your nails from being discolored by the polish
2. Apply 2 coats of a beach tone polish (I used mint sorbet- sally hansen extreme wear)
3. Using a make up sponge and a complimentary color (i used max laquer- pearl jungle) dab on the darker color starting from the bottom of the nail and and working your way to until the desired effect is given. if you dont understand heres a great tutorial http://www.glamour.com/beauty/blogs/girls-in-the-beauty-department/2012/05/gradient-nails-picture-tutoria.html.
