Orange/pink gradient nails!
Today I just
wanted to share a little nail post. A couple days ago I saw a gradient nail
tutorial that Mimi @ Makeup Withdrawal posted using orange and pink. Linky here for tutorial. Since I have been on an orange/pink kick lately I had to try it. Mimi’s
nails look way better but if I can do it anybody can!
First off, I
should point out I suck really badly at applying crème nail polish LOL B-A-D. I
love crème nail polish but my hands are not too steady. But I was happy with
how it turned out I had to show you guys. It was pretty easy to do. It just
takes a little time applying the base coat and then waiting for it to dry
completely, then applying the gradient colour. It took me about an hour to do
it all.
Products I
used
· Orly Bonder
· Sally Hansen Extreme Wear nail polish in Sun
Kissed (just like the one in my
giveaway!)· Sally Hansen Extreme Wear nail polish in Fuchsia Power (just like the one in my giveaway!)
· Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat
· Makeup sponge
· Q-Tips and nail polish remover for clean up
Tips:
· Make sure the base coat is COMPLETELY dry. My thumbs were not completely dry and I ended up
making a mess out them.
· Tape around your nails before applying the
gradient. The sponging technique makes a hell of a mess. It took me forever to get
the pink off the ends of my fingers.
· Use Seche Vite or something equally awesome. Nicole
by OPI Topcoat kinda sucks. My nails felts pliable even after drying. So I
applied Seche Vite and now they are hard as rocks LOL
So what do
you guys think? Are you going to give it a go?
