You Can Try The Ombré Nails Too. That's Easy And The Colors Will Just Fade Into Eachother. Ombré The Pink And Red, Then Maybe A Black Design

Or Even Like This With The Pink & Red With A Black Line Instead Of The Diamonds(:

I like them both! I was actually just looking at the ombre ones before i saw this, just trying to decide what kind of design to add :) But I like those half and half!

Katie what you can do is paint the background what ever color you want. While its still a bit wet dip you brush ( old dry brush) in to the glitter. One color at a time. Just dab it on. When you are finished with your 3 colors the use the brush and brush over the whole nail. Try to use a " fine" glitter. You will have to top coat twice.

Welcome! I did just see a video here. Look for the Gradient nail video. You can certainly use 3 colors!

Try like a black base, and pink and red zebra stripes!!

For the gradient nails you could always just add two black blocks on either side of the nails to make a gradient stripe in the middle - like the Nailasaurus did the other week. http://www.thenailasaurus.com/2012/07/let-me-upgrade-you.html
It looks rather "racey" I think :)
