piCture pOlish provided us bloggers with three polishes for the nail art. I received splash (by piCture pOlish), attitude (by Overall Beauty) and shocked (by Shatter me Claire).

The three shades

The three shades

This is the manicure I’ve done with the three shades:

I started the nail art by painting one coat of shocked on my nails. Shocked is such a gorgeous base for this manicure!

I wanted to do a gradient with these three shades, so I started by putting some small blobs of shocked and attitude next to each other on a piece of paper. I dipped a little bit of kitchen sponge into the two colors and started to work on the gradient.

I only did the gradient on the pointer and the pinky nails as I had other plans for the two middle fingers. After doing the gradient I added one coat of top coat.

While the gradient started to dry, I started doing some swirls with attitude starting from the middle of my ring finger. I used a small nail art brush for doing that.

Then I added another gradient over the previous gradient using splash. This was to be a glitter gradient.

I topped everything with a top coat that finished the manicure! I hope you enjoyed the end result!!
