Purple Gradient & Orchids - Valentines Day Manicure #7

Hello everyone!

Today I chose a purple gradient manicure to be #7 in my Valentines Day Mani Mini Series.

I started this manicure with a white base. I used two coats of china glaze - White On White.

I then sponged on a gradient using these three Maybelline Express Finish polishes:

L-R:

Acid Plum - Pastel Purple - Fuchsia Fun

I know this is not perfect and I should have used a pink base instead, but I am happy with the result of this sponging. Usually it looks worse... :-D I then added a coat of china glaze - Fairy Dust to my nails for some sparkle!

Above: Indoors with a flash. Below: Outdoors with direct sunlight.

Since these nails went perfectly with my Orchids I took a few shots. Sometimes the angle is a bit weired, but the colours were just too good together to leave any picture out.

I am very happy with this gradient manicure and I really love the colours!

How do you like this purple gradient? Did you enjoy my Valentines Manis so far?

Maybelline New York - Polish Collection

Hello lovelies!

Since Valentines Day is knocking on our doors I decided to show you my Maybelline New York Polish Collection that contains a lot of suitable pink and red polishes. All in all I own 31 Maybelline polishes. On the display you can see 28 of them, because I did not apply the transpatent base and the ridgefilling base here. And also I have to pearly whites, that are the same. Only difference is, tht one is an express finish polish that dries in 40 seconds and the other one is from the super stay line.
