Chill Gradation

1. Paint the nails with orange, pink, purple and blue-green colors in that order.
2. Hold the brush vertically and slap it back and forth. Repeat 2-3 times.
3. Using a square brush, apply constant pressure and create a beautiful gradation.
4. Layer mohair gel on top pinkish mohair for warm colors and blue mohair for cold colors.
5. After applying more aurora holograms, apply top gel and cure with a matte coat.
6. Use a hard top gel to draw knit patterns.
7. The end of the pattern can be drawn in thin lines by gently pulling the brush up from the nail. For round areas, gently pull the brush straight up.
8. Draw a short line to fill the gap on either side. Draw a small circle and cure.
9. Wipe off the uncured gel to complete the process.
