Side gradient |
I just painted my nails white and when dried, Sponged on LaFemme - Deep Purple Pearl
The type of sponge I use |
With one coat. I used two. |
Before top coat |
I then took Vollare Colorado - 409 and sponged the other half, overlapping the purple. For those who have tried this technique you will know how awkward it is to get perfect, so if you are only trying this for the first time, expect too-ing and fro-ing with the 2 colours.
I then sponged half my index finger with the blue and overlapped with Sally Hansen - Emerald City.
Then again, half with Emerald City on the middle finger and finished with NYC - Lemon Cream.
On the ring finger continuing with the Lemon Cream, I finished with Vollare Colorado - 239.
Lastly, on the pinkie, with half painted in 239, I finished with Miss Sporty - 150.
It looks bubbly in the pictures above but it wasn't.
I waited for this to dry and topped it with La Girls - Diamond Top Coat.
...Then it got bubbly... :/
Now, you WILL get messy with this mani but just dip a bud in remover and clean up the edges.
This is my first full grad mani so be kind :)

ReplyDeleteThank you :) Wish I could get the lumpy look out of it but I will no doubt try again sometime in the future... I *am* determined to get bump free grads!! :D
DeleteThis looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much :D
DeleteI really like this! I'm determined to get gradients right
ReplyDeleteThank you :) This took me AGES to get to this state. I must have been *dab dab dabbing* for a good hour! It hurt me to stop because I am quite a perfectionist when it comes to my art and posting this made me feel uneasy! lol!
DeleteThis turned out great! What a beautiful rainbow.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :) I may try to repeat this in the future to see if I can make it blend neater. :)
