Sunset Nails Tutorial

It's September now and so summer is officially over, but it's still hitting the 80's most days I thought one last summer nail tutorial would help us say goodbye to summer right.  And what could be better than a sunset nail tutorial? 

Step 1- Gather materials.  You will need a white polish, two or three colors, and optionally, a glitter polish.  You will also need base coat, top coat, something to use for cleanup, and a cosmetic sponge.

Step 2- Paint your nails white.  Make sure it's more or less opaque.  Let it dry very well.

 Step 3- Cut the sponge to the approximate size of your nail.
 Step 4- Paint the colors on the sponge in the order you want them.  You will need to do this after each nail.
 Step 5- Press the sponge onto your nail.  Bounce it around and let the polishes blend together at the edges.  You will probably need to let it dry and do a second coat.  Your fingers will be a ridiculous mess.
 Step 6- Clean up your nails.  I use a small brush and acetone.
 Step 7- Optional, add glitter on top, because glitter makes everything better!


 Step 8- Enjoy your new mani and try not to be too sad that summer is over.  It'll be back next year :)
