My first crack at a gradient...

Last night as I chose what outfit I would wear to work today, I thought about attempting a gradient on my nails for the 1st time. Now, I'm not the most artsy person in the world but I buckled down & looked at several YouTube videos & thought to myself, I can definitely do that!

So I went thru my nail racks & decided on 4 colors that I had in my shirt. I chose Nicole By Opi - Count On Me as the base coat, Nicole By Opi - Fashion Diva, Opi - Pampalona Purple & Essie - Pure Pearlfection

Its not perfect but im so proud of myself! I think it looks awesome! And so do my co-workers! I'm not a polish professional but for my 1st attempt at nail art, I think I did great!

I can't wait to stalk more blogs & get inspired to try new things!! Check out the final result below.

    Looks so good! I really like your background! I want to start my own nail blog but I'm nervous and I would love to jazz it up. I just don't know how to work all the blog stuff. Hahah
