Matte Gradient
Hola!!
I trust everyone had a great weekend. I didn't do much. Looked for a new apartment, cleaned, watched some movies, had a swatch party...ya know; the usual. I have been wanting to use some of my new lovelies for some nail art so I thought a matte gradient would be fun.
So this is my AMAZING (if I must say) gradient mani. This is only one of my new lovelies, but isn't she gorgeous? I knew there was something missing after I did the gradient so I popped on some rhinestones in random spots and fell in love. I didn't use the matte top coat when I was done because my cheapo gems look funny even after a shiny top coat. They get that frosty look and it's ugly. Since I didn't use a TC I know this mani won't last through the work day tomorrow or even through the shower I'm about to take. I don't really mind though because I got my photos and I get to show all your beautiful people. (:
WHAT I USED:
WnW Black Creme - 2 coats
Hard Candy Mattely In Love - 1 coat over black
Sephora by OPI Mermaid to Order - gradient
1 turquoise gem
1 lime gem
1 small emerald gem
So that's what I came up with. I can't wait to see what you all say about it.
