Quick answer
Choose GRADUATED SASS for an edgy, gradient French manicure with a unique S curve, or go with RISING STAR for a solid peach base with a subtle silver glitter cuticle accent.
Design approach: Gradient vs. solid color
GRADUATED SASS uses a graduated color effect with a sassy S curve, giving your nails a modern, edgy French look that transitions between shades. This design is all about movement and a bold statement.
RISING STAR takes a simpler but equally eye-catching route: a solid peach base with a silver glitter detail at the cuticle. The contrast between the matte peach and sparkly accent makes it a versatile choice for everyday wear with a touch of glam.
Wear and versatility
Because GRADUATED SASS has a distinct pattern, it works best as a statement manicure. The S curve and gradient can be the focal point of your look.
RISING STAR's solid peach base is more neutral and can easily complement a variety of outfits or other nail art. The glitter cuticle detail adds a festive feel without overwhelming the overall design.
