Teal gradient mani

Hi blogspot

I have a lot of manis in my queue, but I'm feeling lethargic today, so I'll share a quick gradient that I did on my little sister's friend when she slept over the other night.

They were watching a movie and wanted me out of there ASAP, so I didn't get to tidy the edges up :c
I did two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White as a base and let it dry. For the gradient, I used the sponging method, brushing Sinful Colors Rise And Shine on a makeup sponge, and then dabbing it 3/4 of the way down the nail. I repeated the sponging two more times, moving up towards the tips each time until Rise And Shine was opaque. I topped that with two coats of Wet n Wild Shine in Kaleidoscope, a pretty topcoat with small hex holo glitter. Then I finished with one coat of Seche Vite and I was done!
Aw, messy edges :c

I didn't quite capture the holo effect from the topcoat, but it looked nice anyway! Tomorrow I'm going to post my first (successful) franken-polishes so stay tuned.
