If you don't know by now, I LOVE my funky french manis, and black tips, lol. For this one, I wanted to use one of my all time fave polishes, OPI DS Extravagance. I first did a base color of Sinful's Black on Black, then 1 coat of the OPI. I added a coat of SV and gave it about 6-8 minutes to dry. Then I taped off my tips, and painted them black. The 'Gradual Mani' follows this one.
Well.....Im not to sure what to say about this, lol. I had this vision in my head of a Gradual Mani, and I'm quit fond of it. I just used the same colors as before. Can you see my vision, or am I all alone, lol
This is gorgeous!! I've never tried a gradual mani but will now!!And that deep purple OPI is stunning too!!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is great - keep up the good work!

That is so cool! I had a similar idea but with diagonal lines. I think I'm gonna try it pretty soon. I love the combination of these two colors it looks so sexy and sophisticated.

ReplyDeleteThanks ladies! I am loving the Gradual Mani more and more, so I can't wait to try out more colors with it :P
ReplyDeleteI just love the way your nails shine! Is it thanks to Seche Vite? And does it stay that shiny for long?
ReplyDeleteThanks Petra!! Yeah, it's just SV, I love that stuff. I can't honestly say how long the shine last for, only because I never have a mani on for more than a few hours max, lol.

ReplyDeleteStupid question, but what did your thumb nail look like? Was it just pink with no black? L*O*V*E your nails by the way!!
ReplyDeletenot a stupid question -- I was wondering the same thing
DeleteWhat is that color purple,and brand name? Also what do I use on real nails to keep the polish from not chipping for a week or more? Is there a glaze on top of the nail?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you use to tape off the nail?
ReplyDeleteOn YouTube most people just use tape, or some use the mani-tip tape, found in most stores with a nail section. Hope this helps!
DeleteThese colors look great together. You do such a great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you use for a top coat? I can never get mine to look like this
ReplyDeleteThis is SO awesome!! LOVE how shiny your top coat is!! wowsa!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is SV ? And when you put the tape on, and peel it off does it leave the color underneath perfect?
ReplyDeleteLove this look it is beautiful
ReplyDeleteLove the gradual mani!!
ReplyDeleteIs the thumb completely black then?!
