30 Day Challenge - Gradient Nails

So first of all, this is way later than I usually post, but I just got back from dinner with my sister AND still had to make a gradient happen.

Second of all, this challenge is supposed to be fun, and today's post was no fun.  I'm usually good at gradients (at least I think I am), but I just couldn't get it right today.  Oh and let me show you the brush on one of my untrieds I was using. 
I know it's not the best photo, but do you see that think sticking down from the brush?  IT'S A STAPLE!  Yes!  A staple.  In my polish brush.  WTF, Julep?!  Luckily, a few months back they sent me courtesy replacement brushes.  I was gonna throw them away, but I'm glad I didn't.
So this is my gradient and it's sloppy.  I'm not sure if it was the polish or the fact that I'm drinking while manicuring.  Idk, but I don't like it.  I love the idea just not the execution.  Both polishes were untrieds.  The beige color is Julep Sophie and the deep grey is Julep Brandt.  I will definitely be attempting this combo again in the future, but until then, good night.
