Now sometimes you have gradients that are obnoxious in contrast, with colors that are so far from each other in tone you can easily tell it's a gradient. This is not one of those gradients.
a england Lady of the Lake and Tristam are basically the same polish, only in 2 versions. Lady of the Lake being the purple one and Tristam blue. They have the same magical holographic particles and apply in the same way. Because these colors seemed to fit so well together I did a gradient. Turned out they are a bit too close to really notice the gradient!
I still liked the result and with sunshine holographic polishes are always a win so I enjoyed this manicure!




Very pretty
ReplyDeleteit is a bit hard to tell the difference, but it still looks super gorgeous ;)
ReplyDeleteIt looks cool but I can't see there are two polishes :)
ReplyDeleteEven if the gradient isn't that noticeable it is still gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeleteThis is so subtle!
ReplyDeleteEven if it's quite hard to notice from the pictures, just because as you said these two polishes are quite similar, I think it's a great idea to use close tones for a gradient. We're so used to do gradients with contrasting colours that I've never considered the idea of using close shades :D
I love it!
And then.....A-England are gorgeous! When I'm wearing St.George I can't help admiring my hands!
Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of your nailpainting skills! Want to be my teacher? :-) Lovely colour by the way!
ReplyDeleteThis mani makes my heart skip a beat. This is beyond lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!! They ARE really close, but I can see the difference in the macro shot. I haven't done many gradients, so I haven't had this problem.
ReplyDeleteThanks Katy :).
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed really really close!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl!
ReplyDeleteThank you <3.
ReplyDeleteYes it's always clashing! So it's nice to look into complimenting shades :). Thanks for the sweet compliment! Oh yes, I loooooove a england <3!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carly!
ReplyDeleteAww Marije, that's so sweet! Part is skill (which can be developed!) and part is clean-up ;). Thanks!
ReplyDelete♥ thanks Amanda!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl, normally bright light points out the difference but with this indoors it looked better!
