Some Beach, Somewhere

Hello lovelies!  I've been so frickin busy the past couple days.  I haven't had time to do my nails or really anything at all relaxing.  So today I thought I would harness some beachiness in my mani. It didn't show up as well in the pictures but I have some beachy stamping done over a yellow/orange gradient.

Here is a closer look at a palm tree detail I put on my middle finger.  The colors I used were Sinful Colors in Cloud 9 for the orange, and Finger Paints in Art Nouv-Yellow.  The stamping was done with Pure Ice in Really Rio.

Nails of the Day... Yesterday...


 I did my first ever sponge gradient yesterday.  I'm sure with some practice it will look smoother.  I used China Glaze in Flying Dragon (Neon) and Purple Panic (Neon).  In the finished mani I feel like there isn't enough contrast in the colors, but they are neons so the color isn't as opaque as a cream.  I still like the colors together.



After finishing with the gradient I topped off my nails with L.A. Girl Glitter Addict in Uninhibited, and I gotta say I LOVE this glitter.  Obviously it isn't sparkly like traditional glitter but I really dig the black glitter.


I look forward to doing more gradients in the future and hopefully getting better at it.  If any body has any handy tips I would love to hear them.  Thanks for reading!
