31 Day Challenge, Day Ten: Gradient

Hello hello! So I just want to start off by saying I love gradient! It's easy and fresh and just so hard to mess up!

For this manicure I used:

For the foil design I used, crush nail sheets; I finally found a use for them! lol

1) Cut regular makeup sponge into small pieces
2) Have a sheet of saran wrap already placed on your area

3) Put two coat of your main polish on your nails, I suggest this being the lighter of the two polishes
4) Then paint the two colors onto your saran wrap as shown

5) Dip sponge repeatedly in polish on saran wrap, shifting up and down to merge colors seamlessly
6) Apply to nail, moving the sponge up and down

7) Feel free to put added polish directly to sponge to fill in  hard to manage areas
8) Finish with Seche Vite!

Let it Snow Let is Snow...

HAPPY DECEMBER! I truly love this season. The lights, the music the warmth and the SNOW! Well... there's no snow yet but hopefully my gradient attempt can inspire mother nature. :)

Here's what I used: 

I was trying to do a bit of a snow effect to jump start my Christmas nail chain using the gradient effect from The Nailasaurus. Also, because I wanted my base to be dark I used Konad nail stamping polish as  the lighter blue so it would be opaque enough.

Thanks for your time!
