Hi, the camera is still broke but hopefully I'm getting a quote of how much it will be to fix it *fingers crossed* it's not too much. I realised I have some pictures that I never put up, I did these nails a couple of weeks ago.
I had this vision for them but they didn't quite go according to plan as I rushed it so the lines are messy :( but here it is
I used 15 polishes for this!
1-9 = top row, 10-15 = bottom row

All the palest colours required 2 - 3 coats, the middle colours were 1 thick coat and the darkest all took 1 coat. To do this I painted about a third of my nail in the palest colour, it doesn't matter if you do more as the other colour will cover it, once that had dried I did the middle and then the tips which were the easiest. I tried when painting to make sure that the sections were relatively straight and even so striping the black was easier. As you can see I was a bit off with the black lines. If you were to recreate this it would make a lot more sense to use the taping method but I like to freehand as I feel that's the only way I'll become the best!! LOL
I called these ombre skittles as I feel they are more ombre than gradient hahaha.
Hopefulllllly my camera will be fixed real quick as I am expecting some awesome nail mail that I wish to share with you :)
Seeyou soon!
