• after drying this shade, do the same manipulations with other varnishes;
• when the whole palette is dry, apply fixer.

There is another way to create a trendy gradient. It is enough to have 2 varnishes on hand: snow-white and your favorite matte color.

Drop colored varnish on a sheet of paper and mix it with a white shade using a toothpick.

• on the little finger is pure white;
• on the unnamed one - a mixture of white and color;
• for each next nail - a color in which there will be more white than the previous one.
