Vertical Gradient with Illamasqua


Gradients are still up there with my favourite nail art techniques! I love doing them and seeing other people do them. I'm quite jealous of the people who manage to blend them SO seamlessly that it doesn't even look real! Practice makes perfect though and I think I've come quite a long way with mine (I may do a then and now post soon!) 

I decided to do a vertical gradient this time as it's something I've never done before. I started with a base of Illamasqua Jan, a dusty pink creme (now sadly discontinued) and sponged on some vertical stripes of Illamasqua Nomad, a minty green creme. I finished with a top coat to smooth it all together.
