Materials
Base and top coat
3 Shades of polish
Sponge
Striping tape or nail vinyls
I started with the lightest shade of polish, 'Spring in My Step'. I applied two coats but I wasn't concerned with how perfect it was because I was sponging a gradient over. The base color is applied to give the sponged polish something to grab onto, as well as prevent completely bare spots.
I then applied a vertical gradient, from left to right the colors are 'Spring in My Step', 'Grass is Lime Greener', and 'At Vase Value'.
I then applied a quick drying top coat and applied small straight nail vinyls. On my thumb and pinky I placed the stripes vertical, on my pointer and ring I placed them at an angle, and on my mid-finger I placed the stripes horizontal.
With the stripes in place I sponged a gradient over top with a reverse gradient. so the gradient from left to right goes 'At Vase Value', 'Grass is Lime Greener', and 'Spring in My Step'. Immediately remove the tape/vinyls, do a little clean up, and apply a top coat.
This took me quite some time to complete but I think the result is worth it. Even though this was complicated to complete but it subtle to the eye. I'm not sure if its the colors that I find so pleasing, the design or both. Most likely its both. I hope you enjoyed this nail art design. Thanks for stopping by, see you next time.
Your Fellow Plebe,
