Gradients

I've been doing quite a few gradients lately and have been loving them!  Here's one I did not too long ago!

Started with a base of two coats of Sally Hansen Contempor-airy, no top coat.

I always find that my gradients work out better if I top coat and let them dry, so added a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top, then let the nails dry for about 10-15 minutes.  

Did a sponged gradient using Sally Hansen Contempor-airy and Sinful Colors Endless Blue.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

Stamped with image from UberChic UC 15-02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

I really liked that this was a bright pop of colour during this late summer when I'm still wearing brights as it's too early for fall nails yet!

Fall Gradient

Simple stamping on a fall-like gradient!

Started with a gradient of China Glaze Metro Pollen-Tin, Morgan Taylor You've Got Tan-gerine Lines and Morgan Taylor Sweet Escape.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped using image from UberChic UC 15-02 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Blue Stripes & Stars

I got some star and stripes vibes from this mani and am going to be using it as inspiration for a 4th of July mani at some time!  But even if no star and stripes vibes, I was still pretty happy how this turned out as love how the colours complimented one another as well as the double stamping! Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Zoya Breezi, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of Seche Diamond Dust then top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped the stripes from UberChic UC15-02 using Sally Hansen Insta-dri Set Sail, then double stamped the stars using an image from UberChic UC 10-03 using FunkyFingers Gesso.  Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.  And FYI, I know the stripes on the middle nail are crooked.  This was my second attempt at them as the first time wasn't as straight as I would have liked.  After the second attempt, I was like, it's meant to be, so left it. And not that obvious IRL, just here due to the angle of the hand pose!
