Continuing with the 31 Day Challenge for 2018. We’ve hit Day 16’s Geometric prompt. For this I chose to do a Reverse Striped Gradient. We’ve made it halfway – to the midpoint in this often tortuous Challenge. But thank the Polish Fairies for that. Cos it’s a little less painful knowing you got this far.
This was going to be for the gradient prompt, but I shifted all those days around to post my MoYou London entries, and shifted it to here. It is still geometric, but not what I had planned for this prompt. Which was full blown 80’s print and hand-painted funkiness. It didn’t work out that way when I fell ill. Plus I had to do one of these at some point though and actually planned this one from the start. Also, back to those gradients ha!
I used tape, a makeup sponge, and metallics to get the effect I wanted. It looks kinda cool, despite the nail curve making it harder to achieve consistent line thickness in some parts. Hard to get a good shot of it due to the colours being so similar and camera finding it harder to differentiate so I have shot it in a more shadowy setting so you can see the difference between them all.
On a sidenote: I am a little better, but still feeling slightly under the weather, and have had a bunch of sudden stuff come up in the next few days, so swatches/nails/posts might be either sporadic and/or all over the place (same with all that goes with it). Also trying to get a tech to see what the deal is with the constant net disconnections. So I’ll be back into it as soon as I can be.
ALSO: YAY TO HALFWAY!!! Congrats if you’ve made it this far!

Wow, thank you so much!! I really appreciate that, it’s so nice to hear you think so 😊💕
I’ve been trying to knock out a few ideas I had on my nails To-Do list, but haven’t had time for and thought the Challenge was the perfect time to do so.
