Lets get into the Step-by-Step Tutorial:

Step 1: Apply your favorite basecoat. 

My current favorite is Essie's Ridge Filling Basecoat

Step 2: Taking a nail sponge paint one coat of a fast drying clearcoat on to the sponge this is going to help the polish not soak into the sponge and make you put a ton of polish on the sponge before applying the gradient to your nails! 

Step 3: Apply the Gradient Design to your nails. 

taking a white polish and a ocean color  blue polish. i'm using a sinful colors polish in the color why not. Apply the two polishes to a sponge and blot off the excess on a piece of paper. 

Now apply a couple coats of the gradient polish to get the effect you would like.. 

Step 4: Clean up the skin 

I took a nail brush and some ascentone to clean up around the nails.

Taking some acetone or nail polish remover and a brush clean up the cuticle and skin.

Step 5: Add Waves, and some beach details

Taking a nail striping  apply  some white waves to your nail

Add some glitter and shine if you would like you know I love glitters I'm going to go ahead and add some glitter and a beautiful pearl to the design and finish off with your favorite top coat. 

This has to be one of my favorite designs I've ever done I don't know who invented this design but I can completely see myself laying by the beach looking down on my nails and seeing the water and just being so love with the relaxation and the feeling of summer.
