Nails in Gradient Purple

Posted by girlie on May 19, 2010

Uh oh, my hands are not that dark, nor is it too ugly. Pardon me for the photo, I took it last night without flash so you’d see the gradient purple that I made. I watched a tutorial on youtube and I was so confident that I’d get it right away. But no! It took me 3 tries and having a room that smelled like solvent, no wonder I was high, heh! I had all the things needed, like sponge, eye makeup applicator, 3 shades of purple, the black and white nail art pen. I first painted my nails with the lightest shade, then using a sponge I dabbed 2 more shades the darker one and the darkest. At first I used the eye makeup applicator and it didn’t turn out good. I was forced to get one of my foundation sponges and used it to do the gradient effect. I didn’t intend to put some black flowers, but then it looked boring even if I was successful in creating the gradient look. You can go to youtube and follow some tutorials there on how to make nail art. I assure you, you’ll get addicted to it. DIY nail art is cheaper than having it done in specialty salons.
