Hi, everyone! Long time, no read! My nugget’s birthday party was on Sunday and I was spending a lot of time getting the house presentable. So no nail polish.
I’m back today with an old school mani of mine. It’s a little rough around the edges clean-up wise, but other than that it’s okay! I had really wanted to do a metallic gradient, so here’s what I came up with.
Metallic gradient
For this I started out with 2 coats of Milani’s Silver Stilettos. It’s really a lovely silver to own. Next, I did the gradient using Fresh Paint’s In the Flash, which is a really delicate gold color, and Essie’s Penny Talk, a copper polish. I’m thinking I should’ve used a less delicate gold- like Zoya’s Ziv, but I didn’t own any at the time. I think It kind of got lost between the silver and copper. This is one that I will probably redo with more distinct polishes one day.
Thanks for dropping by!
I still see the gold, but I know what you mean. Sometimes our nail art looks great in person but it doesn’t translate well in a photo.

Metallics can be such a challenge to clean up! I wouldn’t have noticed anything on yours, though. 🙂 Gorgeous gradient!

I like it! The gradient looks like subtle tarnish, as if your nails were really metal.
