ABC Challenge 'O' - OPI Gradient!

Hi all!

Getting the hang of this schedule.... I think. Not really.

Anyway, for about two weeks now I've been staring at three polishes on my table determined to do a gradient with them but I kept putting it off because I just didn't have time or was too tired. Imagine my joy when I sat down all determined to gradient it up and realized HOLY CRAP, this totally fit this week's ABC challenge prompt! That just gave me the boost I needed to get it done and I love the results!

All 3 polishes are from OPI, You're Such a Buda-pest, Can't Find My Czechbook and Eurso Euro.




My original intention was  to stamp over the gradient but I wanted to wear it on its own first. I wore it as is for maybe two or three days (because I was too lazy to stamp and afraid I'd ruin it) and then I had a bad-ish nail break on my middle nail so I had to remove it :'(. It was pretty while it lasted!

Have a great weekend loves! I heart you all for your comments, I really, really do.

  2. I can't believe it! I have these three polishes and I wanted to create a gradient with them!! unfortunally my nails are too short to create a nice gradient with three nail polishes.. maybe with two!
    Good job ^^

    1. Great minds think alike! I will say that my nails on my right hand are shorter and I couldn't fit all three colors in, but that may be because I already had thicker stripes on the sponge from doing my left hand. You can also try a diagonal gradient and see if all colors fit that way!

    1. Thank you Deborah! I will always heart gradients, they're perfect for when I want something more complicated than a regular mani but still not impossible.

    1. Thank you, Cristina! I usually sponge twice, really helps to meld the colors together even more. I just wish I had talent for more freehand nail art, your one stroke mani is gorgeous!

  9. This is the most perfect gradient ever. I love it!!!!! I know what you mean about too tired to polish, nonetheless do nail art. I had a change in my meds and it's kicking my ass! I can barely handle staying up to swatch at the end of the day!
