Today is the second installment of The Lazy 15 and it's my favorite: gradients! It's no secret that I'm obsessed with gradients. You can get such a beautiful mani that looks difficult to do but it really isn't. But what might be surprising is that I didn't really like the way this gradient came out :( In person though, I did like it but when I photographed it you can't even really tell its a gradient :( I tried to do a gradient french and because the colors were so close together my camera had a hard time distinguishing them. *sigh* I tried to edit it so that you guys can see how pretty it really was but you've gotta look kind of hard so I'm sorry :( But take a look anyways!! :)
Colors used:
- Finger Paints Paper Mache
- Sally Hansen Nearly Nude Naturel Pink
It really was pretty I wish you guys could see it better :( Oh well it is what it is ;) There will be more gradients on here soon enough to make up for this one!!
What do you guys think??

DeleteSubtle, but very lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! :)
DeleteYour gradients are so smooth!
ReplyDeleteHow do you do it? Mine never have such a nice transition.
Actually Kayla over at Nails by Kayla Shevonne posted a really great tutorial not too long ago that I use. She paints her base color and then paints both colors she's using for the gradient on the sponge. I generally go over each nail 4 to 6 times to make sure there's good coverage. Ever since I started doing what she does my gradients have gotten SO much smoother :)
DeleteAwesome!
DeleteI'll take a look. Thank you.
Ooooo so pretty and subtle - very classy!
