Well, the purple gradient was chipping horribly, so I took it off. I don't know if it was too thick (the white was pretty globby), or if I had too much oil on my nails (applied jojoba earlier in the day as a deep treatment, but washed my hands and swiped my nails with acetone before polishing), so that was disappointing. Whatever. I'll be trying gradients again, that's for sure. I'm thinking that with opaque polishes like the ones I used, a coat of base color isn't really necessary anyway.
My niece told me that my next mani needed to be pink, so this is what I came up with.
That's two coats of WnW Megalast
Through the Grapevine, accented with WnW Wild Shine
Flirty Rose Creme. The
Through the Grapevine is a really nice deep pinky-purple, and was almost opaque with one coat.
I wasn't really sure how I was going to do the light pink accents until I was actually doing it. I knew I wanted to do dots, but the diagonal accent nails just sort of happened! I like it.
