Radial nail art

Hello lovelies,

Happy Friday!  I hope you have had a fabulous week and have an epic weekend planned.  My weekend will be epic while doing nothing hectic except recovering and playing with polish.  We are renovating at home and a new batch has just started so you can imagine how that is going.  I am looking forward to seeing the end result though.  In the mean time it’s puppy cuddles and pretty polish to distract me.

The other night I was watching tv and I suddenly had this idea of a radial gradient with grey’s and purples.  Once I saw the colours together I just knew what I wanted to do and with a little help from a friend, let me show you what I ended up with.

I started with 1 coat of China Glaze – What a pansy on all my nails. Once it was completely dry I did a sponged radial gradient using China Glaze – Elephant walk in the middle, then China Glaze – What a pansy and on the outside, China Glaze – Grape pop.  Once the radial gradient was completely dry I stamped using W404 and Mundo de Unas – Yellow.  I chose this image because it also had the radial feel to it and I thought it would work perfectly with the radial gradient. I topcoated and that was that.

What do you think? I really really like the colours together.  Usually I would feel this is maybe too busy but in this case I actually liked it.  I think the colours combined with the patterns makes it look like some funky wallpaper from the ’70’s.  Or maybe a cool pair of hipster pants.  I don’t know, I just really like it.  What do you think? Am I losing it a bit?

I hope you have a great weekend and I’ll see you on the other side!
