Right, so, first nail post - GO! Today I have a rainbow gradient manicure to show you guys:
For this manicure I started off with a white base (OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls) to really make the colors pop. Then, I sponged on the colored polish with a make up sponge. To do this (lets take my pinkie for example), I painted the blue and purple colors on the sponge, making sure they overlap each other. Then, I dabbed the polish on my nail, going back and forth to make sure the colors blended. I kept adding paint to the sponge until I was happy with the result. I finished off the manicure with one coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust and one coat of top coat. Here are the colors I used for this look:
Red - Essie Come Here!
Orange - Zoya Arizona
Yellow - Zoya Pippa
Green - Essie Mojito Madness
Blue - Essie In the Cab-Ana
Purple - Essie Play Date
I really love anything rainbow so I thought this would be a perfect beginning to my blog! Here's a blurred close up so you can better see the holo gorgeousness that is China Glaze Fairy Dust:
