You may or may not have seen this mani floating around the internet a lot lately - its a mani first introduced by CND at the Diego Binetti show during NYFW. Ivana did a lovely version of it HERE
So here's my version of it using 2 coats of Sally Hansen Shell We Dance as the base then lightly sponging on Orly Oh Cabana Boy around the cuticles. I suggest you protect the skin around your nails with tape ala water marbling or be prepared for extensive cleanup. You WILL have pink fingers! ;-)
To finish off I freehanded a french tip with Essie Good as Gold. Lemmetellya - this polish wears like IRON! I wore this mani for 5 days and still had no tip wear on the Essie metallic. Good stuff!
Have a lovely week!
looks cool!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I can only imagine how much pink would be around my fingers, lol.

ReplyDeletethis is so interesting I love the gold tips
ReplyDeleteI saw Ivana's version and this one is awesome too! It's such a different and fresh take on gradient!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful job with your gradient (I *love* the pink!), and wow, that's some amazing wear from the essie metallic! Another one for the "to do" file! ;o)
ReplyDeleteVery very pretty, I haven't seen this before!Really nice :)
