31DC2018 Day 03: Yellow – She Wore Lemon, Blinged Gradient

She Wore Lemon for today’s 31 Day Challenge for 2018, still catching up. We’ve hit Day 03’s Yellow prompt. For this I chose to do a somewhat abstract Blinged Gradient with stamping detail.  [Explore entries on Instagram #31DC2018 ]

And a wee closer look at the accent nail.

Now I was going to cover the whole thing in crystals, but I didn’t – for reasons listed below. So to me it looks okay but a little unfinished. Oh well, let’s pretend it was intentionally abstract hehe…

This mani was actually going to be 3D Lemons, which, if you read my 31DC Intro Post, lists more 3D in my aims. But I ran out of time and couldn’t find one item I needed, so ran with this instead.

The gradient was sponged on and created before masking off half and stamping on the circles. I am unpacking and reorganising and have also misplaced my thick gel, so had to improvise to stick on the beads and bling onto the accent nail. So I stopped halfway with that one and left it as is.

The name of this mani references an ancient Brian Eno-produced U2 song that was stuck in my head, in case you are wondering…

      It really was. I couldn’t quite capture it on camera without a gazillion reflections, but it was pretty damn bright out in the sunlight at the right angles 😁
