Gradient + Animal Print = Would that work together? Well, I wasn't sure until I tried this yesterday. :D
I wanted to do a blue gradient for a while now so yesterday, when the day was so rainy and boring, I decided to do something blue. ^_^
I started with 2 coats of base color ~ H&M - Denim Dreams. I got this polish ages ago from Pink_Diamond and I'm really happy to have this beautiful baby blue creme nail polish. <3 Then I sponged with Denim Dreams and Essence's Walk on Air. This one is from their new range and it's definitely a must have! I love true blues without any hints of greens, that's why I adore this one! :)
When the gradient was dry, I double stamped zebra print from BM-223, first with silver from Essence Stamp me! Silver and again with dark blue Essence Just Rock it. I love how this dark blue looks over the silver. :L
I didn't play with CS3 for ages so I decided to add zebra print to the background too. :P

ReplyDeleteI usually don't like very much "animal prints" IRL but you're right, you can use this pattern on nails to create such amazing combos.
ReplyDelete:L this one, reminds me of sea colors...
BTW I must learn this sponging gradient techique, I'm too jealous of your nails!
Thank you Aly! I was never really a fan but now I would always have zebra nails in every color combo. :D
