I tried the gradient technique a while ago with and orange and pink. The colors were a little too bright for even my liking. I saw something similar to this on another blog, but I can't seem to find it anywhere now. This is my second try. I think I need a different sponge because it still didn't come out the way I was hoping.
I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Blue By! for the base color. Then I sponged on Love Nails by Sinful Colors and Sun-Kissed by China Glaze. The yellow was so light that I ended up sponging two more layers of the yellow, so that might have been part of the problem too. I topped it all off with my favorite glitter top coat: Fairy Dust by China Glaze. It's more of a jelly, so the glitter doesn't settle at the bottom like Northern Lights does.
I'm still working on the gradient. I'm going to get a different type of sponge and see if that helps. I'm also still working on the picture-taking. Let me know what you all think so far!
