Fan Brush Gradient | DIY Nail Art Tutorial

[@BrittMFH]

One of my favorites you've done.

[@teellbee]

That’s a ~beautiful~ color set for a gradient. I am definitely going to try this technique. I like that it looks less wasteful. It seems like a good way to achieve a nice gradient effect with much less polish.

[@Sakrysta]

I can see the brush strokes a lot more clearly here than on the Twitch stream. Really nifty effect! Oh, and the stills REALLY make the holo pop!

[@yolandamunoz8548]

That technique with the fan brush is amazing, i love how it turned out especially with those beautiful colors, loved it.

[@bubbydumas]

really nice manicure! I want to try this method as I too like the idea of the brush strokes being visible, it brings more dimension to the design. Plus, if you have to make a little repair or fill in with a brush, it will blend right in! And it really seems less messy and less polish used! Thanks for a great video. Rose

[@suzyhiphop]

I've used the sponge for years, with polish / acrylics. And, I hate the mess! I'm going to try this technique... it really came out beautifully! ♥

[@BrandeeHiller]

I never thought to use a fan brush for a gradient. Brilliant!

[@DesertRoadArts]

I don't normally comment but your video is amazing. I love how you explain what you did, how you take steps to be neat and the finished nails are just beautiful. I'll be checking out your other videos. Thank you for taking your time to bless others with your knowledge and talent.

[@MSLP]

Thank you!

[@vickiehale1409]

Love this technique, very pretty. I have the fan brush and now I need to get up the courage to attempt it.I'm just a simple and boring polish my nails with one color kind of lady. I need to branch out and play around, tfs 🌷

[@MSLP]

go for it! start subtle, and then work your way up to something bolder =)

[@ambers.2067]

I love the brush strokes in the mani. It makes it look water wave like 🌊

[@jennbori]

Looks great, the colors turned out really nice together. Love watching your videos, I get lots of inspirations from you when doing my nails.

[@pggysu]

Haven't even watched yet but have to say, that finish is a stunner! Beautiful, Colette!

[@sayladytea]

Omg that was sooo simple and gorgeous.

[@roseh8530]

I’m trying it today! I can never do gradients with a makeup sponge, so let’s hope!! EDIT: it works so well omg thank you Colette!

[@MSLP]

I'm so glad you tried it & it worked out for you!

[@svg64]

I never thought about the fan brush for gradient. Loved it. Thanks for sharing.

[@strawberryseed1886]

I like this technique better than the makeup sponge. Love the color combo!

[@taiberry2095]

I really like this technique. Thanks for always giving me new ideas.

[@JustHeAndMe7733]

This turned out way better than I thought it would when u first said fan brush. Now I have a use for my fan brush. Thanks for the tip!

[@binary_terror2]

That looks simpler than the cosmetic sponge technique for sure. I like it.

[@flabarbieri]

I can't wait to give this a go! It looks beautiful. I like the sponge gradient, but as you say, the brush strokes make this one look very interesting and different.

[@lshulman58]

Seems easier than having to reload a sponge with the colors. Looking forward to seeing what other gradient techniques (reciprical?) you do with the brush instead of a sponge.

[@Saintly2]

Such a lovely gradient! 💛💚💙

[@OmneyasWISH]

That looks so much easier than sponging, I still will probably screw it up somehow. Love the colors you chose though

[@ssue4q]

Love the subtle color combo going to have to try this instead of the sponge it looks faster and easier I'm all about fast thanks for

[@angelapavao5993]

These colors are really pretty together and it seems like the fan brush would be easier than sponging.

[@elainedesiderio2071]

Thanks Colette😊, never thought of using a fan brush for a gradient. Love the idea and the results!!! Will definitely be trying it for my next mani. May not be the same color combo. But will be tagging you on IG, love to hear what you think!! And yea Seche Vite rocks😉💅

[@PennyDeFelippo]

Beautiful as always. I prefer a fan brush to a sponge. I find that i can control the odors better. For me it’s also neater.

[@SuperDancer1203]

This is gorgeous Colette! I'm gonna have to try this method. TFS ---- Patrice

[@pisces031372aj]

This was beautiful. The colors are everything. Another great job.

[@dizzyantennae5883]

So pretty! Perfect for the end of summer

[@southerncaliforniarealesta8206]

You make it look easy!

[@yvettenwoko8206]

Hi Colette I love the fan brush gradient! I will definitely try this. I also loved the fan brush design you created for July 4th!

[@caitlinjones6656]

Wow! What a great idea, i would have never thought to do this. I just got ILNPs 2018 ultra holos and i may just have to copy this technique and try them out! I love it!

[@MSLP]

OMG those are gorgeous colors, I think they'd work great with this technique

[@harrisonia]

Love this color scheme! 💙💛

[@philtirah]

This is gorgeous

[@jonibell6345]

You make it look sooo easy! ❤️ love it

[@ghypsc]

Love this technique. Thanks!

[@karengant2555]

Love your tutorials! That was a super idea! This should use less polish than a sponge gradient so , I am going to try it! Beautiful nails!

[@crochetbabe829]

[@MoonBabyNails]

Thumbs up! Love it! Thanks for sharing. TTYL, my friend. ~~~~Tina

[@teellbee]

Oooh... that is actually a bit more difficult than I expected. Mine is all streaky and muddy! I guess I should do more testing and practicing ;)

[@colddarkplanet]

That's brilliant !!

[@alexandragutl9358]

Gorgeous 💛💚💙

[@christinawoodard3754]

Im gonna try this

[@MSLP]

Good luck!

[@christinawoodard3754]

@@MSLP thank you. The Sponge method is too messy

[@connedelvalle6381]

Very Very wonderful and easy thanks to you

[@tboykin13tb]

GORGEOUS 😍

[@JDuece2009]

I have a fan brush on my station for Dip Polish process, Holy Moly!! I’m trying this tomorrow!! #IAmANailTech

[@juliepoe5919]

Enjoyed watching this technique and love the color choices. I do have a question though. Were you able to do entire mani or 5 fingernails before having to clean fanbrush or did you find it needing cleaning polish off periodically while doing this mani?

[@MSLP]

I should have mentioned in the vid - I was cleaning the brush in between each nail. You could probably get away with every 2-3 nails tho

[@juliepoe5919]

Colette, Thanx for the helpful tip & your quick response

[@aprilbennett6280]

love this

[@michellescott3496]

Love this!!

[@SH125]

Lovely!!!!💅💅💅

[@clawsandghouls]

I love it😍😍

[@rtb03791]

Does that fan brush work woith normal nail varnish

[@MSLP]

This is normal polish

[@mrs.schrado7421]

How often did you rinse the fan brush in acetone? Is it more beneficial for you if we watch the vod on twitch or the full post on here?

[@MSLP]

I was cleaning it between every nail, I wish I'd remember to mention it in the tutorial - you could probably get away with every other nail or so though. I guess youtube would be a bit more beneficial since I don't get any ad revenue on twitch yet, but do whichever is easiest for you!

[@denise5052]

Very cool, I see seaside chic but also it makes me think of 50/60's sci-fi robots.🤖
