Today I have another manicure for the weekly nail art challenge I am participating in on Instagram this month. The theme for today is mint and lilac so I'm expecting to see lots of lovely delicate manicures! I started off with my gradient in mint and lilac using Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet and Lacey Lilac. I am SO happy with this gradient! See how smooth it is? These colours were so lovely together. I spent a little extra time on the gradient, going over and over it until it looked smooth. It was so worth it and hopefully I'll be able to do some more smooth gradients. I think the fact that these two polishes look amazing together helped a lot too! I'd originally planned on topping the gradient with some delicate white stamping, but once it was done, I thought of roses and decided to do that instead. I used Sally Hansen Purple Pulse and Good To Grape along with Essence white stampy polish for the roses (it was the only white I had! Shocking!) and added the leaves with Essie Pretty Edgy. I wasn't 100% happy with the little roses, but I still liked the overall look. I really think the gradient made it! What do you think?
This is beautiful! I'm glad you went with the roses instead of the white stamping, looks great!
That gradient is killer! I love it so hard!
Absolutely in love with the color scheme, it's perfect to bring out the roses.
Love the colors here, so gorgeous! Your roses are amazing.
Very beautiful!! I think the flowers look great!!
Wow, your gradient turned out amazing!! This whole manicure is so cute!
This is so pretty! I love the gradient underneath, it gives it a real earthy, floral feel to go along with the flowers.
