Today was 112°F here in Las Vegas, and I felt like I was melting even INDOORS with air conditioning. I saw a wonderful gradient on Michelle of All Lacquered Up's blog. She used one off the butterLONDON jellies layered 4 times to create a pretty effect. I loved the effect of the jelly layering so much, I decided to do my own- I used a polish that took about 5 layers to be opaque, and I think it worked perfectly for this effect.
I used Nicole by OPI Respect the World Matte as a base, with Confetti My Favorite Martian sponged over it in three layers. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful looking. Apparently simple, but very attractive. I think I'll try it too.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's gorgeous! I also loved that manicure of All Lacquered Up, so I definitely need to try this!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of gras and a blue sky, lovely!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I really need to try a gradient mani--I also loved the ALU one.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! I love gradiation effect on nails :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in Vegas, too, and it WAS hot... But we were blasting the air conditioner, so it was all good!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the nails. They're so pretty!!!
Oh gosh, you did such a wonderful job! I wish my gradient attempt turned out this great!
ReplyDeleteThat is so, so gorgeous! I have been really loving gradients lately. I think the jelly polishes give it lot more depth than the way I've been doing them! Still... gradients are gorgeous no matter what!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh that's so pretty! It's like laying in the grass and looking towards the horizon.. ^.^
ReplyDeleteI love these colours for summer!

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the Fun Dip Lik-a-stik candy that is blue and turns green when you lick it. It is the exact same colors. You should check it out. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/1/1039737_70c589de8a.jpg
ReplyDeleteSaw Michelle's yesterday, and I am loving your version also!!
ReplyDeleteHot here, too!! I am so done with Summer. Great gradient.
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful! I was inspired by Michelle's post too, and I used the same effect in my nails today! But I used a very light, lilac color that doesn't look as beautiful as yours does! =D
ReplyDeleteYou are very talented!
