Ladies,
How is your weekend going? I hope you are all perfectly well, under a hot sun, drinking a mojito and conversing with one of your dearest friends. Okay. It might be slightly early for a mojito. If so, please read "Coffee" insead. I don't want you to believe everything that is said about Spanish people, and "fiesta" all day long. Trust me, it's a myth. We're so much worse (smile).
My base is China Glaze Sea Spray, and I did the sponging with Kiko nº300 - Pearly Malachite Green.
I felt totally on for some "let's get dragged by the trend" and went for a sponged mani today. Apart from having it on my to-do list and being on the mood for something simple (yet effective), I really wanted to try Sammy's tutorial (The Nailsaurus); it has been a major HIT on the nail polish community lately, and I am sure you've seen it a hundred times, and tried it at least once. If not, you should.
This technique makes sponging really easier than the classic "let's pick a hundred colors and do a massive mess". My pictures do all the talking, I'm only going to say that the whole manicure took me around 1h30. And I took all my time, blogging when letting the base dry an all that. I even failed at my first attempt, when using a dark green for the sponging which made my mani look awfully dirty. Gross. I realize I didn't take any picture; I should have.
You take care, and keep it up with your nail porn!
Beautiful :) those colours look beautiful together.

ResponderEliminarThis is gorgeous! The two colours blend together really well.
ResponderEliminarLovely gradient, I'm hoping to do a blue one myself soon, there's something really nice about blue :) like a pair of faded jeans, haha! You're nails are at such a nice length too!
ResponderEliminarI love it! I think I'm going to finally try a sponge mani now.
ResponderEliminarBeautiful, TASTEFUL. I know what you mean about a "hundred colors and let's make a mess"... less is more sometimes. I will check out the sponge tutorial. Thanks!

ResponderEliminarYES!!! Yes yes yes yes!!! This is THE gradient!! I LOVE it!!!
ResponderEliminarI just realized I never tried a blue/green gradient. hmm... I really gotta!
Although i'm a bit more the "let's do a mess" type of person. I haven't yet tried Sammy's... LOL
btw - when I've been to visit Spain some years ago, I totally realized people were dead serious when they talked about the Siesta.
I so much wish it was popular here as well.....
