Gradient

(Sorry it's late)

Hi Guys, this week I have had on a simple Gradient manicure, my first ever one i'm actually proud of would you believe!

Left hand and right hand shots, as you can probably tell I am right handed and this is why the left hand is so much neater than the right, and the photo is a lot less awkward!

All done with Sally Hansen polishes, haul comming soon!

The three polishes I used were:
- White base coat: Sally Hansen - Ion
- Blue middle: Sally Hansen - Gray by Gray
- Greeny-blue bottom: Sally Hansen - Fairy Teal

I have to say that I love the Ion colour which I can only describe as an 'Off-White' as its such a good base colour and is so easy to use as it comes in such a big 14.7ml bottle with a lovely big brush and just the right consistency. However, it is usually a little streaky on the first coat so does need two.
The gray by gray colour I actually don't like that much, it's a little bit of a boring blue colour and its actually not that nice in my opinion. I bought this online (see previous haul post) and I actually don't like it as much as I did when I saw it online.
Fairy Teal is a beautiful greeny-blue colour which is simply gorgeous, I would wear this on its own, but its a little dark to be a summery colour at the moment, prepare yourself Autumn, this is going to come out a lot!

Hope you like the post, feel free to comment or suggest anything you think I should attempt. Like I said, haul post comming soon!

    1. Sadly its not the first I ever done, just the first one i've ever been proud of, all the others have been very messy and not much of a gradient really!
      Go for it! Sally Hansen brushes are big and if you can pick the bottles up for a good price then they are well worth getting, especially for how big they are!
