Polishes used for the gradient were: Maniology - Vapor Wave (teal) + Monarch Dream (lilac) and Color Club Lacquer - Disco Dress (violet). You are more than welcome to use my code SANJA10 when shopping Maniology.com.
Ewen gradient itself is bold, raw and bit rough, and it was done by stamping, rather than using the sponge. Plate used for the gradient was Clear Jelly Stamper - CjSLC13.
Gradient was topped with Different Dimension - Mystery Prototype 40.
Topper slightly dulled the gradient, but I was not fussy about it.
Images stamped over the gradient were on Clear Jelly Stamper - CjS-45 stamping plate, which is possibly one of my favorite Clear Jelly Stamper plate.
Inner part of the image is also gradient stamped, and I used white and grey stamping polishes for it.
That seemed to be an easy part. It appears that I could not agree with myself on the outline color, so I stamped it 4 times! I started with the black, followed with gold and copper, only to decide that I would like it black again 🤦♀️.
Have to admit, this double gradient idea looked much better in my head.
I thought that glossy finish would take away from all the work I put into this manicure, so I went with the matte top coat.
This manicure was also a way to wish a friend a happiest of the birthday. Many happy returns Bianka!
I hope you will like this intense manicure, as I loved the results, despite indecisiveness about the outline color.
Hoping that your week is going well, and that you are both - wearing the mask to protect yourself and your loved ones from the COVID19, and wearing the sunscreen to protect your skin from the harmful effect of UVA and UVB rays.
Cheers!
