Fridail: Orange Shapey Nails!

Hey everyone! :)
Today I'm killing two birds with one stone and combining the two challenges I'm taking part in. (Dangerous, right?)
So that means for the British Nail Blogger's "Colour Me Crazy" challenge, my nails must be Orange!



And for Life In Lacquer's challenge, they must be all Geometric and shapey! 


So I smushed those two together and boom! These rather untidy, weird nails came out!


So the pastel orange I used was really uneven to apply... I think it needs to hit the bin *sniffles*


To get the shapes, I used the triangular and the round nail-tip stickers. I was extremely impatient with them, too, so that's why they came about all smudgy- I take full responsibility!




So the polishes I used here were Rimmel's "Tangy Tangerine" (what a cute name!) which is the pastel base, Essie's "Bazooka" which is the bright orange, and Nicole by OPI's "American as Apple Pie" from the Carrie Underwood collection, which is of course, the red. 

Anyway, after showcasing my potentially worst looking mani ever, I will redeem myself next week, I promise! 
But before that- here's Sarah's nails! The blues are stunning and the way the lines are working reminds me of waves! So pretty!




See you then! :)

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!
