The One With the Blue Gradient Snow Flake Mani
9:00:00 AMHappy Snowstorm Day to you all!!! The East Coast is being hit with a lovely storm today bringing upwards of 18 inches where I live. I'm not going to lie to all of you, but I adore the winter and the snow. Something about it is so peaceful. Maybe because everyone is inside and the hustle and bustle of life just slows down a bit. And since today is a federal holiday, it will only be the "essential" workers out on the roads making it again a little quieter. Sure, healthcare has been a nightmare lately, but I think today will be a good day.
Today's design is a spin of one I've done the last two years, except instead of using pink, I opted for a blue design. Then while going through my drawers, I found a glitter with blue flecks for the accent nail, and it all just came together. I was beyond upset with this design chipped off, but I enjoyed every minute of it.
Let's take a look!
Colors Used:
- Color Club - Factory Girl
- Finger Paints - Be Merry and Sparkle
- ORLY - Liquid Vinyl
I just painted these nails a week ago, and for the life of me cannot recall what the darker blue polish is that I used for the gradient. I'm so angry at myself over this!!! I want to say it's one of my darker Serendipity Polish throwbacks, but who even knows anymore. I'm telling you, I am slowly but surely losing my mind. Regardless, the blues came together to create the most perfect blue gradient which SCREAMS winter. My love for blue deepened after I had this beauty on my nails.
Once that gradient was dry, I went to work on the snowflake. Not my best work but not my worst either. I love how it turned out. Then matched with Be Merry and Sparkle, the whole thing came together beautifully. The pictures make the glitter look more turquoise, but I swear it was more blue tinged and paired perfectly. I think I'll have to use it again soon.
Like it or love it? Hate it?
Until next time, <3.
