Day 25: The Fade

today I decided to do a gradient fade, one of my favorite techniques since it is really simple but looks really cool!

I started with the Seche Base (and then used Seche Vite as a topcoat at the end)

Used a light blue from Nicole for OPI as a base coat

then with a makeup sponge I stippled on Yodel me on my Cell from OPI

Next up I faded in Blue It from Sally Hansen

and then I painted over the whole thing with a light coat of Laser from the Sally Hansen HD collection

Day 24: Dia de los Muertos

My grandma decided to let me paint her nails...little did she know! ;)
nah, she's totally a sport, in fact she couldn't wait to get finished so she could go flip the bird to my grandpa and show him her skull!

I applied the Seche Base (and then Seche vite as a top coat at the end) on her nails

I painted Flit a Bit by OPI on all of her fingers except the middle nail

on the tips of the orange nails I applied my favorite new polish, Sparkle-icious from OPI (go get this!)

I used lime light, sun worshipper, shocking pink, and blue it for the background of the sugar skull nail
