Hello! Today I will be sharing my first gradient manicure. EEeekkkk! :)
I was inspired by a manicure I saw on Lucy's Stash ,where the awesome and talented Becky, from A Polish Addict, did it using the same 2 Zoya colors!
I used Nfu-Oh #52, Zoya "Charla" and Zoya "Zuza"
I started with a base color coat of Zuza, then with a makeup sponge I painted a line each of Zuza, next to Charla. applied it with a couple dabs.
Then I followed-up and applied the Nfu-Oh flakie directly to the tips. :) Unfortunately you can barely see the flakies, but the dark base of the Nfu-Of still complimented the manicure nicely.
I loved this manicure and the colors were awesome! My nails were way too long for me, so after this manicure, I had to cut them down, not a lot but enough to operate like a normal human being, LOL! Check out my thumb nail...
Eeekkk, it needed it's own zip code :) After all my layers were done, I topped with with my normal 2 coats of top coat and I was all done.
Keep it Sweet!

I haven´t tried gradient manicure yet... I must say that your first try looks very good!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the color palette.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this is your first gradient: it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThose colors sing together! Mesmerized by the Nfu-Oh!
ReplyDeleteI want to try something like this myself and you have definitely inspired me as your nails are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat color choices - and congrats on doing your first sponge gradient - kind of easy uh? Even I can do it! I have tried it using a few different techniques as far as how to apply the gradient...going to next try using those disposable eye shadow sponge tip applicators - just saw that one this past week. Seems like I will have a lot more control using those.
