Black sparkle fade.

Glossy black coffin nails with a fine silver sparkle fade rising from the free edges and disappearing by mid-nail. Build the silver sparkle gradually toward the tip; keep a visible black area so the gradient remains clear.

Steps

Gently shape the free edge; leave the cuticles intact.
Start with clean, dry nails. Apply base coat according to its label.
Apply thin coats of your chosen regular polish and let each layer dry.
Choose a ready-made regular air-dry shimmer or metallic polish close to the reference palette and apply thin even coats. This captures the color mood only: mirror chrome, magnetic depth, airbrushed auras, relief and extensions need a separate salon discussion.
Add top coat following its label and allow enough drying time.

Tips

Black sparkle fade. Use this original concept as a visual reference. The home version uses regular polish and does not reproduce extensions, raised decorations or specialist salon effects.

Before you begin

Use only regular air-dry polish for this guide. Follow the product labels, ventilate the room and stop if irritation occurs. Do not use damaged or painful nails.
