Hey guys,
I hope you had a fabulous weekend. It was deliciously cold and all I wanted to do was snuggle in bed with a movie. I didn’t of course, because challenge. What did you get up to?
The 31 Day Challenge is usually done in September although you can do it any time of the year. If you want to find out more information you can find everything you need to know as well as the Inlinkz for the prompts here thanks to Cathy from More Nail Polish. Here are the prompts you can look forward to
I love gradients and usually for this prompt I am always trying something I don’t do very often. A lot of times that is a reciprocal gradient or maybe even a radial gradient. This time, I decided not to. Let me show you what I did.
I started with 2 coats of Sinful Colors – Snow me white and left that to dry completely. I then used the straightliners 3mm vinyls from Because I Shop down the centre of each nail and did a sponged gradient using OPI – Kiss me, I’m Brazilian, OPI – If you moust you moust and OPI – Pompeii purple. I made sure to remove the vinyl immediately after and then used a small dotting tool and made random dots in the centre using OPI – Vant to bite my neck, OPI – Do you have this colour in Stockholm and OPI – You’re such a Budapest. I topcoated and ta-dah!
I quite like how these pinks worked together in the gradient but I am not sure I like the ‘gradient dots’ down the middle. I think it’s a combination of the purples just not working so well together and that I didn’t do the best job with the dots. I am just hoping it works well enough together to pull it off. 😉 What do you think?
Don’t forget to follow the #31DC2018 on social media if you want to follow along with the daily prompts OR take a peep at the InLinkz below.

I really like these!! It’s such a unique look. I like the purples with the pinks. They are pretty. Although I am always a sucker for pinks and purples so that may have something to do with me liking this mani.
Thanks so much Tracy. I am a sucker for pink (obviously) and purple too so I can totally relate. I wish the purples were more purple but oh well.
These are so cool! They have a really nice abstract quality to them ?
That is a very cool way to describe them. Thank you so much!
please can you come do mine if I ever decide to sign up for this amdness again. I hate GRADIENTS!!!!
And you can obviously tell by my shoddy addition. we will never speak of this again.
p.s. yours rocks.
p.p.s. im jealous
p.p.p.s very jealous
I did actually see your gradient and your gradients are always on fire! I think maybe you just need more practice ;). Let’s do a gradient party? Thank you by the way xx
I like it a lot! The dotted gradient is a great addition to the regular gradient!
Thank you so much!
This looks great!! Both gradients!
Thank you so much. I really need to do more gradients.
Love the pinks, love the purples, the gradient is flawless, the dots… ehm… I think I would have changed that to a purple gradient, also dark at the tips (but I have to admit I don’t have a clue what that would have looked like so maybe it would be removed immediately and replaced with dots 😉 )
You know, I have a feeling that that would’ve looked AMAZING! I wish you were in my brain so that you could give me these words of wisdom when I come up with these ideas! I think I might have to try it now.
Oh, you wouldn’t want me in your brain, trust me! But I’m only an email away and usually I check my inbox… ehm… like way too often 😉
Hahahahaha I think I’d like to try it for a day ;).
You’r much better with the email than me :/
