31 Day Challenge-Day 10: Gradient

Don't get me wrong I love a good gradient just as much as the next girl but I wasn't feeling particularly inspired by any color combo so I did something different. I decided to re-do a glitter gradient I'd tried a while back. What do you think?

This glittery gradient consisted of four different glitters: Wet n Wild Kaleidoscope, OPI Crown me Already, China Glaze Fairy Dust, and Orly Shinning Star. For the base I used one very thin coat of OPI Bubble Bath, and finally to help build up the continuity Essie Good as Gold for the tips. All in all I do think it's a very pretty combination, but maybe it's a tad too much for little old me.

Here's the sched: 

Good as Gold Indeed

 Happy Monday people, nothing like some fun nails to brighten up another LONG week. Essie's Good as Gold looks good with everything so I couldn't help the but pair it with this soft mauve. To me this color combo is sweet and sexy at the same time (wink lol). I couldn't decide which Bundle Monster plate to go with so I chose several and decided to make this a skittles manicure.

As I mentioned above I used Essie's Good as Gold for my accent color and the base is once again some unnamed mystery color I ordered from Alloy maybe a year ago. I used BM-311 and BM-303 for the various stamping and painters and striping tape for my pinky finger. Are you ladies gold or silver fans? 

Mash Up

Alright here we go again. Today I have a kind of mash up of some really cool work from the Nailasaurus! I have to be honest I love this woman. She makes everything look fantastic and easy and we all know that's not always the case. She's known for sick gradients, bitchin (lol) stud work, and general awesomeness. So I took a bit of this and a bit of that and made these.

This bad boy consists of a three color gradient, striping tape, and studs. The colors I used for the gradient are  Essie Eternal Optimist, School of Hard Rocks, and Bobbing for Baubles. Then I used China Glaze Liquid Leather to make the laser lights look. Boy trying to pose your hand for polish pictures is tricky business let me tell you! Oh well I'll just assume this a skill that will get better with time. Until next time polish fiends : )
