So I did some gradient nails earlier but yesterday I was in the mood to try something out. I found a new technique in doing these kind of nails wich is very easy and I’m sure all of you can do it at this way. I will film this soon so you can see how this is done.

I used two of my favourite colors from Diamond Cosmetics, the blue one is oh tiff! and the red/peach one is Calypso. I like the way it turned out, it’s not really two colors you would use for a combination but I like to try out things that ar not so ordinary.

It’s really easy to do, just take a sponge, choose two colors you like and put them on the sponge. I used a round makeup sponge and cut it in half. It’s easier to do when you cut it cause otherwise you will have a round surface wich doesn’t make it easy to sponge the colors on your nails. Put the two colors next to each other on the sponge and dip/sponge it on your nails. Try to work fast cause when the polish is already drying you will pull it of of your nails and you get holes wich isn’t very attractive. It will take two or three times to get the color opaque but the effect is really cool. You will need to clean up your fingers/nails after doing this. At least, I needed to do that cause my fingers and cuticles were kinda blue with red…

So I did an attempt to do gradient nails. It turned out okay, the gradient could be more but hey, I’m a little n00bie on this one so don’t judge to hard

Anyways, this is:
- China Glaze – Sexy in the City for the blue.
- Konad Special Nail polish in black with a gold shimmer for the black.
- China Glaze Fairy Dust for the glitters
- Konad Special Nail Polish in white for the konad flowers
- Image plate m57
and a loooot of patient. It took me for about 1.5 hours to make this. Damn, that’s more time then I spend on school on an avarage day. Anyways, I like how it turned out! It feels like i’ve been to a salon or so.

The blue is in real life more aqua. Still haven’t got my cam (my dad is kinda bizzy with a lot of things, so he still hasn’t got the time to put the vacationphoto’s on his pc..) and this one really sucks at taking bright colors right on the photograph.
