Watercolor Nails

What you'll need: 
  • Base Coat, I'm using Revlon multi-care (965)
  • A few colors, they don't have to be in the same color family but they should be lighter and darker than one another (Revlon Charming 211, Impulsive 240, Essie Velvet Voyeur)
  • Top coat (Sally Hansen 33)
  • A makeup sponge (this is what creates the entire nail look

*The colors are so off here sorry
Paint your nails with the lightest color, mine are Lavender. I love this color, it's the best pastel I've ever found, one coat and solidly opaque.

Tear of a piece of your sponge at the corner. Tearing works better than cutting because it ensures the rough texture you'll need.

After your base dries paint your next color onto the sponge and lightly dot on half of  the nail.

 This is the texture you're going for

Repeat with the other color(s), let dry, then add a top coat!
You might have to clean up around your nails a bit too. Can do this with as many or as few colors as you want, and again they don't have to be in the same color family.
