Isn't that a beauty!
So here is how I created this mani: I used a cosmetic sponge to paint the polish on my nails. it is as simple as that.
Here is a photo of the sponge next to my thumb so you can see how the gradient worked itself out. I literally just put paint lines on the cosmetic sponge and it soaked it all up and when I dabbed it on my nails the colors magically blended together.
and a photo of all the fingers for good measure. :)
I started out with a base polish of white, I used Sinful Colors Snow me White
The colors I used for the gradient are(from base to tip):
Color Club: Pucci-licious
Color Club: Chelcea Girl
Color Club: Twiggie
Color Club: Almost Famous
OPI: Orange mini from the Spookette set
Color Club: Cadillac Red
Stamping: Wet N Wild Black Creme
