What I used:
ORLY: “CHANTILLY PEACH”
PURE ICE: “TWINKLE”
CHINA GLAZE: “LIQUID LEATHER”
INM: “OUT THE DOOR”
I started with two coats of “CHANTILLY PEACH”, a beautiful pearlized peach-y color.
Next I used a make-up sponge to lightly apply some “TWINKLE” from about half way down my nail all the way to the tip. Then I used an eye shadow sponge applicator to make the very tips even darker.
This is the only way I can seem to get gradients to work. :)
After all the polish was dry, I used my stamping plate GA30 and some “LIQUID LEATHER”
to stamp on my design and toped it all of with one coat of “OUT THE DOOR” fast drying top coat.
I think this mani turned out beautiful! I welcome
your comments.
Wow! That is so pretty and really effective! I can't get the hang of gradients but will try your way with the different brushes :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa! I can't get gradients to work either. Well, not the way everyone else seems to get them to work. The make up sponge then the eye shadow applicator works super for me, I hope it will work for you too!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I can't wait to see what you post next! :D
I shall let you know! I like how you explain how to do your manis!
DeleteAnd thanks :D I'll be checking in on yours too :p
Really gorgeous! I have trouble with gradients too- I've heard though that a more porous sponge (currently i use the triangular makeup ones) makes a big difference, I need to pick one up to see.
ReplyDeleteThank-you!
