Tools

I used:

• Barry M 629 Matte White
• Barry M 306 Blueberry
• Color Show 661 Ocean Blue
• Barry M Quick Dry Top Coat 704
• Striping tape
• Makeup sponge

Step 1

Paint your nails white. 

Step 2

Stick 3 or 4 pieces of striping tape across your nails. I also find it is a good idea to put liquid latex around your nails when doing gradients as it makes cleaning up your fingers much easier!

Step 3

Using the sponge, paint white, pale blue, and dark blue stripes on it and dab it on each nail to create the gradient. You may need to reapply the varnish a few times for each finger. Once you are happy with the gradient, carefully and quickly peel off the tape in the reverse order you applied it, and the liquid latex if you've used it.

Finally, cover your nails in the top coat to protect them.

Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Seventeen Pink 59628
• Miss Beauty 21 Sunset
• Color Show 749 Electric Yellow 
• Black acrylic paint 
• Barry M Quick Dry Top Coat 704
• Make up sponge 
• Small detailing brush

Step 1

Paint a gradient on your nails with the pink, orange and yellow nail varnishes using the make up sponge.

Step 2

Using the small paintbrush, add a palm tree or two to each nail. To paint the trees, first add a stripe for the trunk then 5 stripes radiating from the top keeping them curving downwards at the tips for the branches. Then carefully add little flecks along each branch for the leaves. Finally add a very rough line for the ground at the base of the tree.

Finally, cover your nails in the top coat to protect them.
