Greek gradient nail art

Hey guys,

How has your week been so far? I can’t really tell if my week has been really busy and scattered or pretty decent and slow.  I guess that means it was just ok.  Which is never a bad thing.  It’s also coming towards the end of May which means we are almost half way through the year.  How does that even happen?  I regret ever wishing away a day, a week, a month because it seems to just be flying by now.

I am busy working on a DIY project of sorts that involves going back to some previous 31 day challenge sessions and while doing this post from #31DC2015 I knew I had to get out the supplies.  I just loved the gradient so much and I really wanted to do it again and I also knew I wanted to play with vinyls.  Let me show you what I did,

I started with 1 coat of Sinful Colors – Snow me white and left that to dry completely.  I then did a sponged gradient using China Glaze – Home sweet house music, China Glaze – Glow with the flow and China Glaze – PLUR-ple.  I topcoated the gradient to make sure it was completely dry all the way through.  I then used the Greek vinyls from Because I Shop and put them horizontally on all my nails.   I tried to put them at different ‘heights’ so the pattern moved to different positions on my nails.  I then used Sinful Colors – Black on black and removed the vinyls immediately to ensure clean lines.  I topcoated again and ta-daaaah!

I really like the bright neon gradient and I am sure some will say this is for summer.  I think you can neons any time you want and this gradient is perfect! I am also obsessed with these vinyls!  How gorgeous are they? I love that you can use the whole ‘design’ but also align it in such a way that you can get many different variations.  I just love it.  What do you think?

Thanks for reading,
