So these are the nails I did over the weekend and despite them not coming out just how I envisioned I am quite pleased with them. The plan was to have them start with purple and end with blue, but my nails weren't long enough for that many colors in the gradient. I think if I'd used a striping brush to put the colors on the sponge I could have made it happen... but, I used the brushes from the bottles, so the lines of polish were thicker.
I feel so excited that I can do gradients now. The colors of this one actually reminded me of one that I did FIVE YEARS AGO. I went back and looked at it and OH MY GOSH. I can't believe y'all were liking my nail posts back then. 🤣🤣🤣 (But thank you for doing it. I needed the encouragement, clearly.)
The link to that post is below, if you need a laugh. I would say that I'm embarrassed of that photo, except that I'm not. You gotta start somewhere and that was taken just maybe a year after I discovered nail art, so I was a total newb at many of the techniques. So if you have room to improve, worry not. Keep practicing and you'll get there. Isn't it amazing how much we can change over time?
