Layered 

  1. Apply a gray colored polish at the cuticle and pull down all the excess product down the nail.
  2. Do the same thing with a fuchsia pink color, but leave a space so you can still see the previous color.
  3. Repeat again with a plum purple color.
  4. Apply the same plum purple color with a dotting tool on the gray color by the cuticle. 
  5. Finish with a top coat.
