I was going to use a design from the vault for this, but decide I wanted to do something new. I had an idea in my head and wanted to see if I could execute it. I know for Halloween time and being a three color gradient this isn't that original, but I still wanted to do. I mean it is candy corn, what is more Halloween than that?
While trying to find the right polishes for this design I found I don't have a lot of orange polishes. It is not that I don't like orange, I just don't seem to have a lot of them. My favorite orange polish, Orly Crush On You, is a jelly. . . but it was the only "true orange" without any shimmer I own. I need to fix that. So started sponging the colors over white, but that was just a disaster! So I removed everything and started again with COY as the base color and that worked much better!
The other colors are Nina Ultra Pro French White, Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Butter-fly Stroke, and China Glaze Glitter Goblin.
I wasn't sure how I felt about the manicure until I put GG over everything as I had intended. It seemed to soften the gradient and make it much more wearable.
I really like this design. Of course the pictures don't do it justice, because it doesn't capture the sparklyness of GG. I hope you like it anyways! Don't forget to check out the other participants!
Tootles!
