Three Color Gradient + Pink = Breast Cancer Awareness Mani

This is my design for the second week of The Crumpet's  52 week challenge. Yes, there are three different polishes in this gradient. I used Pure Ice's Happy Hour (cream), Twinkle (shimmer), an Can't Stop (cream). This is a very subtle gradient but it is there and this time I really like what I did.

 I picked these Pure Ice polishes up a various times during that dark and dreary February/March we were having in Missouri last year. I put them away and forgot about them for a few months.

I do realize that these three pinks are really leaning towards the coral. But saw an article last month on Sylvia's 40+ blog about wearing pink and orange together and really liked the look. So I thought I would interpret it in a mani.

Other things that I used were Nfu-Oh's 48, white acrylic paint and my little pink fraken polish. Unfortunately, after I painted my ribbon I dropped my fraken on the floor and lost most of it. 

I was so much happier this time with my gradation. Putting scotch tape around my nails sure helped with clean up.

My First Franken-A Gold Glaze

I also used Stripe
Rite's Gold Metallic for the double lines.

Sooner or later I figured it would happen. There would be something I wanted and didn't or couldn't find it so would concoct it myself. I can't say I wasn't planning to eventually do this. I bought some Luster Base and mini bottles last summer from TKB Trading. 

I had been wanting a gold glaze with just a little glitter for some kakie green polishes I have. They looked great in the bottle but I wanted something just a tad extra for them.

For the mixture I used the Luster Base, Jenna Hipp's ho-hummm gold metallic (Award Season) from her last summer's collection and Wet 'n Wild's The Gold And The Beautiful. I did thin it down with nail polish thinner to get the consistency I wanted.

I will admit that this not that dramatic but I like it and know I will use it a lot. And in my book that is pretty important. Well, that's it for this time around. Take Care............Terri
