A modern Christmas Tree

My sister posted a picture of a nail design that she liked on my Facebook page, so I decided to do it for her today.  It was inspired by this design by Romina - Cajon de los esmaltes.

I took a few liberties in making it my own by changing the color scheme.  I don't often get to use China Glaze Party Hearty and thought this would be a perfect opportunity to.  I love the this glitter, it is just so festive!  I also used Near Dark.  I thought the extremely dark green would be fun.  And don't forget the lose gold star on top.

ND did take two coats to get it this dark, but I actually wanted it darker I was just tired of waiting for coats to try.  Alright, I got a bit impatient, so sue me.

I have decided when doing someone else's nails the thumbs are the hardest.  Have I complained about that before?  If not, now you know.  The thumb on the other hand didn't turn out as good at all.

Such a simple and elegant design.  I really love how this turned out.

Tootles!

The prompt this go around is gradient.  I had no idea what to do!  I didn't want to the "typical" Halloween colors bleeding into the next one.  I also wanted to crank it out relatively quickly.  I had success with my first glitter gradient, so I decided to try it again.

I wanted something a little bloody, but not looking like blood.  This one is also on the classier side, which I like.

I used China Glaze for both colors in Near Dark and Love Marilyn.

I love how glitter gradients turn out.  They look like they take a lot of time and effort and they don't!

Please excuse the pre-clean-up pictures.  I was losing daylight.

Don't forget to check out the other participants.  Their designs are all stunning!

Tootles!
