Cotton Candy Gradient Nails

Hey Lovelies! Today's look is inspired by one of my favorite carnival treats, cotton candy!!! First I started out with a thin coat of Sally Hansen INSTA-DRI in Blue-Away and then using the makeup sponge technique I applied 3 layers of Blue-Away and Jordana's Pink Bunny. 






This is a great mani to sport during the Spring time! Hope you enjoyed this look!

    I loveeee this color scheme. I might need that pretty Jordana polish, the name is cute too!

    Do you have a tutorial for your gradients? You do some of the best, most smooth gradients that I've seen.

    These are really good! I just cannot seem to grasp the technique of gradient nails, no matter how much I practise. I bet its one of those things that are so easy when you know how though. Well done on another set of beautiful nails :)

      Thanks! I had such a hard time when I first tried it out that I stopped doing them for a few months! Then I found out about the sponge technique and now I'm obsessed! You can check out my video on how I do it.... maybe it will help :) Keep practicing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJvA1BCWiPs&context=C40b7a20ADvjVQa1PpcFMhlHjkvUbhEbNRwdTVuxMv9j6kUhZbqkE=
