Hello lovelies! As I showed you on my
Instagram yesterday, I did a gradient manicure this weekend - and it was all inspired by an iPhone cover. Dat cover. It's really pretty! I immediately thought it would look good as a nail design, and well, as I'm not getting the cover any day soon, I just went for it! To create the look I used Tart Deco and Mint Candy Apple from the lovely brand Essie. As they are both very opaque, I didn't even need a layer of white polish beneath them! They were sponged right onto my base coat! Tart Deco is a coral orange creme - the shade is obviously directly inspired by the classic art deco style. Mint Candy Apple is a light mint-green creme, and is the complete contrast color to Tart Deco, which is why I think they go so well together.
Bottom line, I think the look is perfect for summer. If you'd like to know where to get the cover, or casually order it for me haha, just

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you think so too :)
DeleteMarvelous!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rei<3
DeleteI just discovered your blog (through Vernis en folie if I'm not mistaken), and I love it! I'm so peculiar about nail polish', nail art's blog and the the pictures that I don't have many favourites, but yours is just perfect for me :)
ReplyDeleteI never tried to do a grandient, I'm too sloppy for that, but as it happens, I have these two Essies and I want to try it now.
That's really lovely to hear :) I'm so happy that you told me!
DeleteYeah, if you have both Essies you could try it! :) The best thing is that you don't need that extra coat of white polish before doing the sponging :) That means no extra drying time ;)
You're forever welcome to stick around<3
