Gradient nails.. Now, I know of two ways (I am sure there are a bunch more!) to go about gradient nails: 1) with a sponge and 2) by using glitter and applying extra coats to certain parts of the nails (other works with just colours as well). I, of course, opted to use the sponge technique as that is what I am more comfortable with. I also decided to use the same colour family..
Any guesses as to what colour family I used?
Yes, you're correct: GREEN!
I started with two coats of OPI Stranger Tides, then sponged some OPI Mermaid's Tears from the middle of the nail and up.. Then I added some OPI Jade Is The New Black to the upper three-quarters of the nail.
I think it ended up working out okay.
The one thing I have been quite enjoying about this 31 day challenge is, not only do I get to use some of my untrieds, BUT, I get to rediscover gems I already own and have 'forgotten' about. Very fun indeed.
Whelp, see you all tomorrow (:
