The fact that my last gradient attempt turned out so crappy made me fixate on trying it again so here I am with another post. I feel like I’ve been on a roll lately when it comes to posting so I’m going to try to keep the wind in my sails. I used two China Glaze polishes: Bahamian Escape and Man Hunt. I’ve swatched Bahamian Escape before but I added some swatches to this post again because this polish is so darn pretty.
I used a different type of sponge this time so I do think it created a slightly different effect. I am still not happy with it, but this one looks slightly better than my first attempt so I will keep practicing until I’m a gradation fool.
And just for shits and giggles, here is my favorite psychotic Kelly moment from The Office:
I am looking forward to my salad from Cafe Rio–yum!–and catching up on my favorite blogs. I have tons of reading tonight! 🙂
Have you ever seen The Office digital shorts? Subtle Sexuality is AMAZING. That song will get stuck in your head forever, though.
I like this color combo together! I was thinking of trying a gradient with similar colors.
I've never seen the digital shorts! Are they just online? You should try a gradient and you should also start a blog! 😛
Hmm…that is a good suggestion! I have had a lot of fun meeting you and Nicole and I feel like it's fueling me to just talk about nail stuff even more, so that would be another outlet. I may have to look into this wordpress business this weekend.
I'm not sure if you'll find them for free online (but probably somehow)…you can buy them off Amazon for I think $2 or something. I have the DVD…it was a gift.
Oh, cool! I'll look into the digital shorts. (I just imagined shorts with binary code printed all over them)
Yes, join us in the dark side of blogging. 🙂
lmao I loooove kelly. She reminds me so much of my best friend. She wouldnt go as extreme as fake pregnancy but she has a very "kelly" personality. My boyfriend pointed it out first, and I was insulted at first, but then started to see the likeliness. Its sad she's leaving the office,but she's not really on it much anymore. I hope her new show is good!
Uhm, that is totally an insult in my eyes. lol But I can imagine her being really FUN. I can't wait to watch her new show even if the title is very unfortunate. She is so hilarious.
Haha I know, good thing she doesn't watch the office.
lol…yeah, that's for sure.
The American Office is so much funnier than the English one. Ricky Gervais gives me the heebie jeebies!
I thought it was just me! Everyone thinks he's super funny and I just don't get him. He seems kinda creepy and I don't know why!!!!

If u find a good sponge let me know…I cannot do gradient with a sponge either. It stinks cuz I luv the look of it ;). I like yours, looks great.
I am trying so many different sponges to see which one works best. I'll let you know if I find a really good one.
I love this, so pretty!
Thank you! <3 Eventually I'll get the technique down.

I love this one! It's speckley but I really think it looks great! 🙂 You're gonna have perfect gradients in no time!! And that bahamian escape polish is super pretty!!
I hope so because I'm such a failure with all this nail art stuff. At least I got painting my nails down. lol
And stamping! You're PERFECT at stamping!!!! 🙂
But stamping just requires a steady hand…no great skill. 😛
and not even THAT steady of a hand… that's why I like it! haha. Yours is flawless tho, that takes skill!
