Good morning girls! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and that Santa was good to you ;-)
Today I'd like to show you my first gradient manicure:
My first step was to use two coats of E.L.F Pearl as my base.
I then sponged on a lilac Wibo shade.
Next I sponged on 332 by Kiko and finally a dark purple Miss Sporty shade. It was supposed to be a purple gradient but the lilac looked pink and the dark purple looked navy...
In an attempt to rescue the manicure, I used a glitter topcoat with silver moons and stars in it.
This wasn't a total success but I think it's a fair attempt for my first gradient manicure. What do you think? And did you get any nice polishes from Santa?Bye for now,
Laura
