30 Day Challenge Day 10-Gradient Nails

Hi loves, I feel like I have been rushing all day.  Ugh, don't you just hate days like that?  Woke up late, rushed to work.  Left work and rushed home to get this post done.  I wanted to do it last night but we all see how that turned out.  Hopefully it was worth the rush...

I am not a fan of gradient nails.  I love the look but I don't feel that I am too great at it.  It's so messy and I always end up messing something up and having to start over.  4 hours later I have a completed mani.  Sheesh, I'm tired just thinking about it!  But I managed to squeak one out (hehe) for you lacquer lovers.  I really like the way it turned out.  I wasn't too thrilled with the gradient so I covered it up (a little)....have a peek....

Yes?  Was it worth the rush home?  I used China Glaze For Audrey, a gorgeous tiffany blue polish that I use frequently.  My untried is Sally Hansen Insta Dry Lively Lilac.  Why have I not used this beauty before?  It is so pretty with the little bit of shimmer it has, and it was totally opaque after one coat.  I reversed my index fingers just for a little spice in my mani's life.  The topcoat I have on is Lush Lacquer Salt n Peppa.  If you don't own this piece of amazingness, you must get your pampered paws on a bottle.  It is one of my faves.  There are plenty of sister dupe's out there also.  I like this one because it has teeny tiny specks of white glitter that just dance (hip hop mostly) around on the nail.

Hope you guys like what I came up with for this one.  I certainly am glad gradient day is over.  And next up we have.....wait for it.....POLKA DOTS!!!!!!  Now you all know my new name is Dot, or Dotty, whatever tickles your turnips...I guess I will have to come up with something fab to keep with my name.  

Happy Polishing Friends!!!
