Easy Sunset Nail Tutorial
Choose to colour your summer with the sunset themed nail art designs! From tropical hues, to beachy designs, the sunset nails are all about giving you the perfect summer nails to complement your “hot girl summer”!!!
Read on for a foolproof technique to get the sunset nails at home.
- Pick your Polish
All you’ll need is nail lacquer shades with the sunset hues. You can go for our Gush favs ‘Peppermint Swirl-Red’, ‘Orangesickle-Orange’, ‘Neon Lime-Yellow’, ‘Raspberry Slushy- Light Pink’ and ‘Frosted Vanilla- White’ for the base.
Think of your nail in fourths- lowest, lower middle, middle and top. Start by painting the darkest on the lowest part and move up to the lighter shades. Don’t wait for the polish to dry up to apply the next shade and definitely don’t worry about the lines not being perfect!

- Smudge it
Remember we told you not to worry about the lines not being perfect? Here’s why. Take a rectangular makeup sponge and lightly tap on each nail to blur out the harsh demarcation lines. This will create a blended ombre effect.

- Seal it
To make sure your design is super glossy and long-lasting finish off with a thin layer of top coat.
