Abstract Nail Art Challenge - Sponging

Hi lovelies!

Hope you are ready for some sponging today. (This sounds somewhat gross to me. I've always been sort of skeeved by sponges, weird, right?) I've got amazing polish on right now and I can't wait to show you!

 For her second collection "The Legend", Adina of A England created some of the most amazing polishes ever. I used Princess Tears, Ascalon and Bridal Veil for this manicure. I used The Knight base coat but when I went to use The Shield top coat it started smearing my lines, so I went back to my tried and true Seche. If you haven't already heard the hype on these polishes...I'll reiterate....they have a perfect formula and are flawless in 2 easy coats. YAY. A England polish can be purchased here!

 I put on base coat and 2 coats of Princess Tears and waited somewhat impatiently for that to dry. Then I carefully placed my striping tape and sponged over it with the 3 colors. Peeled off the tape, top coated and done! This is my first gradient ever and it was easy peasy lemon squeezy. (forgive--I have kids cartoons in my brain at all times now)

I'm loving the gradient dark tips of this, the subtle holo and the striping lines for just a hint of something extra. Have you done a gradient manicure yet? If not, what are you waiting for? ;)

Look for Day 10 from this challenge on Tuesday and please check out what the other lovely ladies came up with!
