Next, apply a pink translucent gel close to the blue gel. Again, don’t cure.
Step 5

Lastly, apply a yellow translucent gel towards the end of the nail. Blend all the colours to make a smooth ombré effect. Cure your design.
Step 7

Step 8

If you want to add something extra, try adding a few flourishes to frame the nail. I used a white, non-sticky nail art gel paint.
