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.

Lets get into the step-by-step instructions on how to create this manicure.

Step one- Create the half-moon mani

I like to cut the round stickers in half and apply it to the cuticle portion of my nail. By cutting it in half and it allows the sticker to be placed all the way down on the edge by your skin! 

Now taking any polish color you would like I'm using red white blue and silver paint your nails a thick coat of polish and before the polish dries remove the sticker with a pair of tweezers! 

Apply glitter if you would like I'm going to add some to my silver Accent nails

Step two - Apply a quick trying topcoat and place a star in the center on the design. 

I found this Fergie wet and wild nail polish at my local CVS and I'm just going to add some stars to a Ziploc baggie and place the stars using a toothpick. 


Step three -  Apply a Matte polish.. if you're obsessed with mat nails as much as I am right now. 

Here's the finished manicure looks like when it's complete I'm so obsessed with this manicure!  I love how it  makes my short nails look super long an I can't wait to show off this manicure under the fireworks!
