Fairly Charming: A Summery Gradient

Hello lovelies!

I hope your weekend is going well :) Today I have a simple gradient to share with you. I did this a few weeks ago and never got around to posting it... oops!

Colors Used: Colors Club - Flamingo, China Glaze - Son of a Peach, OPI - I Just Can't Cope-Acabana, Spellbound Nails - Pishsalver (Drink Me)

I just love gradients! I have to resist doing them all the time lol. There are some really great tutorials on the interwebs for gradient nail art. I find what works best for me is a good make-up sponge (I prefer the triangles from Target) and being sure to blend the colors; not only overlapping the polishes when applying on the sponge but slightly shifting the sponges position up or down the nail as I dab :)

I started with a white base and let it dry. Sponging over polish that is still tacky is a nightmare, trust me haha. I then layered my 3 colors on a sponge and went to work. I usually go over each nail 3 times to reach full opacity. After clean-up (the worst part of doing this nail art, even if I tape off my cuticles :\) I applies my oh so favorite white glitter polish from Spellbound Nails, "Drink Me"
