Gradient Dots Manicure

Sally Hansen is putting a lot of focus on spring nail art right now, so here’s something fun and easy I created!!

Apply the sheer nude base

I started off with three coats of Sally Hansen Arm Candy, a sheer nude creme. I then used my dotting tools with Sally Hansen White On, a white creme, to create a gradient dot effect going up the nail.

Create the Dots

I used the same dotting tools with Sally Hansen Coral Reef, a bright coral creme, and added more gradient dots with a pop of color.

Again, I paired my dotting tools with Sally Hansen Lively Lilac, a soft purple creme, to finish my gradient dotting. I followed with one coat of SV,

I was surprised at how much I liked the dotting design over the nude polish. I think this might be the first time I’ve done something like this with a nude. It really makes the dotting pop that much more.
