Naileymabob: Tri-Polish Tuesday: January Week 2

21 January 2014

So I accidentally missed last week's Tri-Polish Tuesday because I went to see Priscilla, Queen of the Desert the Tuesday night. Although the nails were all painted, I didn't get home in time to write about them. It's saved me having to do a manicure this week though, so really it's all worked out fine!

I used exactly the same polishes as I did last time around (here's my last post here - with a reminder of the rules). These were Barry M Limited Edition Yellow and Ciate Boudoir and Hopscotch. I also used white this time around.

So I applied two coats of Barry M's White then once it was dry, used masking tape then sponged a gradient over. This worked in some places but not in others! After cleaning up, I applied two coats of insta-dry!

I love this effect but I wish it looks like a gradient on all the nails. Also, the masking tape didn't quite work and blurred some of the lines. I tried to top this up with my Barry M nail art pen to make it look neater. Has anyone got any better alternatives?

You may have noticed I have a new look blog. I really love it but I'd also love to get your feedback! Let me know what you think! :-)
