Summer tries the gradient manicure (and fails?)

Monday, August 6, 2012



So this nail trend has been everywhere lately and I just had to give it a try. Lately I've been loving the combination of red and pink (ever since I saw Blair Waldorf pair them in GG), so for this manicure, I combined OPI's If you moust, you moust with OPI's Dutch tulips.

What do you think? Does it look nice or did I fail miserably? I think it looks okay, but I definitely need some practice. And I seriously need to get a brush to clean up my nails when I'm done painting them.




If you're wondering how to do the gradient mani, I followed this tutorial by Nihrida, an amazing fellow Slovenian blogger, whose blog I just adore.

And I was inspired to try this manicure by an amazing blogger, Ivana, whose blog you can find here. Check out her gradient manicures and let her know how beautiful they are. She is not only a great blogger, but also super sweet and really nice. <3

Share your opinion:

  1. I think they look great, well done! MUCH better than my attempt haha.

  4. Hihi, mene je najprej spomnila na Dexterja. Kot kri na konicah nohtov. In potem po omembi GG (ki jo predstavlja roza), bi rekla, da si na nohtih združila Gossip Girl in Dexterja. :D
    Sama manikura izgleda lepo narejeno, ampak jaz ne maram kombinacije roza in rdeče, zato ne morem ravno komentirati (sic!). :)

    Moram pa tudi jaz poskusiti gradient, sploh s to enostavno tehniko, ki ne zahteva slojenja vsakega laka posebej na konicah. Super!

    1. Aaaa kul, torej mi je nevede uspelo skombinirat moji dve najljubši seriji. :D Tudi sama nisem prenesla roza in rdeče skupaj, prav grozno mi je zgledalo, zdej mi je pa postalo ful všeč. Tak colour blocking. :) Definitivno poskusi gradient - vse kar rabiš, je prava gobica in pravi pritisk. Ker če preveč pritiskaš, lak kar dol postrgaš.
      Hvala za komentar pa da si se ustavila na mojem blogu :) xxx
