First gradient nails



Hey Ladies! This is my first time attempting  gradient nails. I think the blending and the color choices are importing in achieving this look.  I really like this look and believe the color combinations are very spring/ summer.  I wanted to added something to give this nail a little more dimension so I added flowers from a stamping plate. Given this is my first time trying this, my blending was not that good =]

Stuff I used to get this look :

In the photos are the order I applied the color -- 
  • China glaze- St tropez
  • China glaze- For Audrey
  • Essie - Coat Azure
  • China Glaze-Spontaneous


I used a make up sponge to applied the colors. using the sponge makes it easier to blend because it applies the color a lot more sheer than just painting it on with the brush.



Next I used BundleMonster (Amazon.com)  imagine plate with the  " daisy" floweron it from BM 16 plate

Then I applied any glitter topcoat and then  used Yellow acrylic paint to put in the middle of the flowers
 After everything was dry, I applied Out the Door top coat and VOILA!






  




I hope you enjoy and thanks for reading =]

XOXO
