Wiki'd Nails: Bridge

Hey everyone!

Today's "Wiki'd Nails" prompt is Bridge. Soooo I chose my favourite/most sentimental bridge- Golden Gate Bridge.

It's often pretty foggy around the area, so I wanted to try and incorporate that onto my nail design.

And so, this is my attempt at a foggy Golden Gate Bridge nail design.




To begin with, I did a slight blue gradient, using Barry M Supersonic, Models Own Blue Glint, and Bourjois Bleu Water, to create a sky-like background. Then using a striper and a detail brush (both of which I need way more practice of using) and Nicole by OPI's American as Apple Pie polish, I painted on the bridge itself. Finally, I added foggy-clouds with a dotting tool and Morgan Taylor's All White Now, before swirling in some grey Leighton Denny Zero Gravity.




So I hope you like my bridge nails- it's been the one challenge prompt so far that I've looked at and had an actual idea of what to do.

I hope you like the design, and don't forget to check out the other participant's nails shown below :)

Make Sure You Follow!

Hey everyone! Apologies for the lack of yesterday's post- unfortunately this one if going to be the last before I go away tomorrow. I'm not 100% sure if there'll be wifi at the place we're staying (we're going to study the animals after all, not to be social over the internet), but just in case there is, you should make sure that you're following me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook! I'll try to post at least one image or update on each per day, assuming that we have wifi, so to be a part of this adventure, make sure you hit the buttons!

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!
