different kind of gradient nails

I have read a lot of techniques on how to do the gradient nails, I tried two sponge techniques from the nailsaurus.com and the beautydepartment.com since it looked so easy to do, but none of them worked for me and maybe the type of nails polishes I have. So I tried a technique that I knew a long time ago. 


1. Make a french nail using a pearl/glazed base and another color.
 I used pearl gold and yellow. Wait for it to completely dry.
2. Paint the glittery polish(mine is color red-orange) to more than half 
of your nails and paint your whole nails again with the pearl polish. 

3. Paint another coat of the glittery polish on where the yellow coat is 
to enhance the color on the tips. 
4. Paint the whole nail again with pearl polish and add a top coat.



And you're done! 




It does need extra time to paint and dry but for me, I think it is much easier than the sponge techniques. Pearl and glittery polishes are the way to go for gradient nails if the sponge technique doesn't work you!   Oh, and it is "different" because I tried painting the 2nd lighter color (yellow) on the tips rather than the usual gradually painting it lighter to darker. :)
