I've never seen a gradient done quite like this, and I love that it turned out almost just like I was imagining it in my mind! Time-wise, it took around 5 minutes per nail to place the strips, so a bit more than an hour for the whole manicure (not counting the gradient drying time)

►Step-by-Step◄
-Use all 4 colors to create a long gradient on your Miracle Mat, then apply top coat to the entire thing
-While that dries, apply a base coat to clean, dry nails
-Once dry, carefully peel off the entire gradient, then cut into thin strips with normal size scissors
-Use a non-quick dry clean to apply the strips of gradient to your nails in a staggered pattern
-Carefully trip overhanging edges with nail scissors
-Clean up the edges with polish remover and your clean up brush
-Finish with top coat!
