gradient nails

So I finally found a way to do this awesome gradient effect on my nails. I tried with nail polish so many times and failed every time. This is a cheap FAST and EASY way to do it. Base coat first. So i put ONE coat of black nails polish, but make sure its a nice, decent coat, you can put 2 coats but I put one so that it dries faster. After that I had golden pigment eye-shadow...that's right, I used MAKEUP :D... Touch the pigment lightly to get some on you fingertip and after the nails is dry a bit, start from the tip where you put the most pigment and touch it lightly, the remaining pigment that is left on your fingertip, you touch the middle of the nail (don't go all the way, leave the cuticle area without any pigment). do this lightly as it is supposed to look effortless. End with top coat (you MUST put top coat) and there you have it. First time I tried this and this is the result. Thank you !!!!
