I really don’t know why I find the most simple nail art techniques extremely challenging. I remember seeing The Nailasaurus’ gradient nail tutorial a million years ago and thinking that it looked fairly easy. I was excited to try it out…until I wasn’t. It turned out to be super difficult for me to get a decent gradient so I basically gave up…not to mention that it was crazy messy.

With trepidation, I picked the white and black shades to try out. Will these Cre8tion Stamping Nail Art Lacquer shades be duds? Let me show you below.
