Pseudo Gradient

This week I tried something new. It is a blue-to-white pseudo gradient and on the accent it is reversed. I started with a deep cobalt blue and went from there. The colours aren’t perfect but it kinda worked. The real problem was my unsteady hands, creating not-so-straight lines and uneven distribution of colour.

This oddly grasped object this week is a Muno Plush toy. One of the many toys, memorabilia, and other delightful things that line my desk at work. Yeah another work pic, I swear I do actual work when I am there not just get distracted by my nails or play with toys or play games (even though those last 2 things are actually part of my job). I also make spreadsheets, go to meetings, and have lunch. See, work.

Anyways, as you can see, if you don’t look too closely at it, its not too bad. I think I will have to try this one again, possibly in a different colour, and with straighter lines. I used 5 polishes on this look; NYC 115A (NYC doesn’t have cool colour names just numbers) that is the darkest blue; NYC 204A the next blue shade; UO Nail Lacquer “Crowded”, that’s the baby blue; L’Oreal Steel Colour 910 “Seeing Spots”, the white; and finally the Essie “All-In-One base” which is also a top coat. In looks like this it is important to use a top coat to soften the lines.
