Starting with Emily from Very Emily, a blogger who I've admired for many years and am now lucky enough to call a friend. You probably recognise Emily's distinctive nails and photography style, and I'm honoured to have her guesting on my blog today!

Summer Sorbet Gradient with The Lacquer Lab Miami Collection

Press Sample

Since my first review, The Lacquer Lab have been busy making a name for themselves and bestowing lovely new collections upon us! The Miami collection is new for Summer 2014, and I've used 4 polishes from the collection for this nail art look.

I started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (my go-to gradient base) then I sponged on a gradient using Roller Babin', Ocean Drive and SoBe. I topped it off with the crowning star of the collection, Dressed To Kill - a super sparkly mix of iridescent flakes and micro glitter in a clear base. I used 2 thin coats.

Dressed to Kill is the perfect compliment to the gradient! I've also swatched the other shades featured here
