Shades: French Mani

Eeeee look at me posting two days in a row! What is this crazy world?
Anyway, french manicure time! As I said for nude coloured nails, I'm not a fan of the bland-stuff, so I have a colourful mani design for you!
For this design I have used:
*Boot's 17 "Luau"
*Revlon's Watermelon Fizz (Scented!)
*Maybelline Super Stay Gel Colour in Berry Stain
*Manicure Tip Guides

Yes, I cheated okay... I cannot, no matter how hard I try, get a perfect french manicure edge freehand. So I use manicure tip guides! (I got 10 packs for around £3 on amazon (uk) and each pack has 3 designs in it- a curved french guide, a chevron guide and a heart-shaped guide) They're great to use, just make sure your first colour is 100% dry before sticking it on otherwise when you go to pull it off, away comes your polish!

Luau is the super soft shiny pearly pink you see there (I love it, surprisingly), Watermelon Fizz is the red-pink one, which is pretty sparkly really! And the purpley tips are the maybelline colour =)

And then I messed around with my Mac's camera a little... :3

Hehehe, okay that's all!

Look forward to seeing you soon! :D

How To: Gradient Nails

Gradient nails are a great way to ensure that your mani matches your outfit over a set period of days (depending on how many colours you use), and it also just looks pretty dang awesome. You've seen a few of my own mani's where gradients have been used (these ones below, in example), especially those in more recent posts! So a tutorial is definitely long overdue- I hope you find it useful!
