What is a gradient and its features
Gradient - this is the transition of one color to another, where the merger is blurry, as if the colors smoothly flow into each other. In the gradient technique, two colors are not always used: it can be three or four. The main thing here is not to overdo it with paints, so as not to get an allapy look.
Gradient manicure is divided into types, each of which differs in its execution technique:
Vertical - when one color smoothly flows into another in a vertical position.
Horizontal - A classic version of the gradient on the nails, where the colors are arranged in vertical stripes.
Separate gradient - in this form, each nail is covered separately by its color, where each color matches a different tone. It can be five shades of blue, green and any other color. The main difference between the type is that the gradient is applied to each nail separately.
French gradient - in this embodiment, use the transition from light to dark or vice versa. Here is the main characteristic strip, like a French manicure, which distinguishes this view from others. Also, the smile zone can be made in other colors of the gradient.
