I shall not bore you further with excuses but will hurry on to the reason you are here.
I chose to do a layering gradient this time instead of a sponge gradient.
I have a very sheer jelly from Nfu Oh that I wanted to use for this mani, though the result turned out a bit meh.
This really doesn't look good up close but from a far distance it is quite pretty.

| Unfortunately I had almost immediate shrinkage which for me is quite unusual. |
 |
| The layering is really uneven and very visible on the middle finger. |
 |
| I absolutely ADORE the bottles - I have a thing for corsets ;) |

| Cute, ain't it? |
I finished off with a layer of CND Jade Sparkle which turned the original colour more grass green than the hunters green it started to be.
And on another note: My one year blogiversary is getting close which means I will have a couple of celebratory give aways. Keep your eyes open - it will be quite spectacular.
Is that all the same color, just in layers? If so, how many layers of the Nfu-Oh did you end up with? It's gorgeous, any which way, though I understand being disappointed in your work - goodness knows I do it to myself often enough!
SvarSletAlso, this mani reminds me a lot of the gradient I did in cotton floss! ^_^ (It's at http://iroshishobby.blogspot.com/2012/03/flossed-fillies.html if you're interested.) Which also reminds me that I need to try that again. Thanks!
Yes it is the same colour, I used four layers. The jelly syrups are really good when you need to do lots of layers, they are more translucent than any other jellies I know.
SletI have done a previous layer gradient with it that turned out way better, so that may be the reason for my meh about this :)
And you are very welcome ;)
