Hello everyone. I hope we all have exciting weekends planned. I'm having a few friends round this evening to celebrate my birthday so I am spending the day sorting out things for that.
Today I have some simple nail art to show you. I have seen a few other people do gradients with textured polish and I wanted to have a go too. I decided to go with a wintery, icy feel to match the current weather. I made the stupid mistake of not bothering to tape my fingers up before doing the gradient.. big mistake. Clean up took hours (literally), it made me want to cry!
I used OPI - Tiffany Case and Barry M - Lady for my gradient.
I did this by painting the two colours next to each other on a sponge and then sponging it onto my nail.
I didn't really get them to blend together very well, gradients aren't my strongest point anyway but I found it even harder with textured polish. I think sponging has made the polish look more textured also, possibly a little too textured. It ended up looking a bit lumpy in places.
I wasn't completely happy with how these came out, but I have seen other people pull this off. So I think I may just need to practice my gradient skills a bit more.
What are your thoughts? Have you tried anything similar?
Thanks for looking.
Ohooo this looks unique and cool, I should try it!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you :). Yes you should give it a go, just remember to tape up first!
