3. Candy Corn Gradient Nails
The blend from white to orange to yellow across each nail is cheerful, colorful, and unmistakably festive — and sponge gradients are one of the easiest nail art techniques there is.
What You’ll Need
- White, orange, and yellow nail polish
- Small makeup sponge
- Liquid latex or tape (for cleanup)
- Top coat
How to Make
- Paint a white base on all nails and let it dry fully.
- Apply liquid latex around the nails, then paint horizontal stripes of white, orange, and yellow onto the sponge.
- Dab the sponge onto each nail, reapplying polish to the sponge for each nail, until the gradient is smooth.
- Peel off the latex, clean up edges, and seal with a thick glossy top coat.
