Golden Oldie Thursday - Gradient

I have more Julep polishes to share today! I have an abundance of them and have been just awful about getting them swatched, so you will probably be seeing even more! I decided to do a vertical gradient today since I have never done one before.

I used Julep Eileen for by base. It's a creamy white. I added Julep Donna and Francis, plus Eileen to do my gradient and then added some stamping with Konad Special White. The plate is Mash-43, and I used Out The Door Northern Lights to top it all off. This is Eileen all by itself. It is actually a pretty nice white polish - very opaque. This was only two coats.

Here is what my gradient looked like before I stamped over it and added the holo sparkle.

Please pardon the ink on my hand...I have a lot going on and needed to remember some things. I absolutely adore this manicure and am hoping I can make it last for at least week before I have to take it off. Make sure you look at what everyone else did for their gradients!

Golden Oldie Thursday - Valentine's

Good evening! Today I have two old polishes that I have never used. One is actually a topcoat...and shame on me for never busting this one out! It is beautiful and I really just kept forgetting that I had it! Here is my Valentine's Day mani!

I used L.A. Colors Paradise Pink for the base. It's a great pink, I really need to use it again! I used Konad Special White for the stamping, which is nothing new. I used a bunch of different plates for this one: my thumb is Konad m78, my index and pinkie are both on BM02, my middle finger is BM03 and BM09, and my ring finger is from RA106. The topcoat is Out The Door's Northern Lights. What is wrong with me?! I need to use this on every mani! haha

Here is L.A. Colors Paradise Pink by itself. It went on in two smooth coats, and has a nice shimmer to it. :)

Well thanks for looking! Make sure you take a look at what the others did for this challenge!
