I'm back to doing gradients again! In the tutorial I wrote, the sponge I'm using is a bathroom sponge and is quite porous. A lot of other bloggers have been using make-up sponges to create their gradients and many of you lovely lot suggested I try one myself to get a smoother fade and less 'bumpy' gradient. It definitely works - make up sponge > bath sponge for gradient nails!
I used A-England Princess Tears as a base and then added A-England Bridal Veil to create a gradient following this tutorial.

ReplyDeleteThis totally inspired me to do another gradient also with a england polishes, but two that are closer together: Lady of the Lake & Tristam! Really gorgeous this combination you made and I will be duplicating it sometime.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, a great result of shade and mixed colors !!! Very nice !
ReplyDeleteHow did you do the gradient with such a shimmery/glittery polish? I've tried you gradient tutorial with a glittery polish and it pulled all the glittery bits out and caused a lot of random matte splotches.
ReplyDeleteThese polishes are holographic so they're very creamy and smooth. There are no 'bits' of glitter or shimmer. If you want a gradient with glitter, just put one colour of glitter on the sponge and apply less glitter as you get further down the nail x
DeleteI have serious problems doing a gradient! Can you help?
