Method one:
- On the nail plate, apply blue and black varnishes in horizontal stripes (from hole to tip).
- Use the brush to blend the borders between the colors.
- Apply a sheer top.
Second method:
- Take an airpoofing.
- Apply polishes on it in horizontal stripes.
- Press the sponge against the nail plate, blending the transition. Dry in the lamp.
