This month the theme is texture. Straightforward, no? Like any other challenge, it can be interpreted in so many ways - textured polishes, painted texture, studs ... you get the picture. Okay, so you'll want to check out the inlinkz at the end of the post. We have several new members added to the mix and I'm very excited to have them in the group.

About this design: I've seen so many gradients using texture polishes, so I had to try it for myself. I decided to go for a more neutral, work-appropriate look. While I love the look, the cleanup took forever on this, almost longer than it took to paint my nails in the first place.

To get this look: I started with a base of OPI My Vampire is Buff. If I had to do it over again, I would have started with the lightest of the Pixie Dust polishes. I did the gradient with Zoya Godiva,

What do you think? Have you ever done a gradient with texture polishes?

Thank you Viktoria - and thanks for pointing out the name mixup, oops! :D
DeleteAn amazing gradient!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly!
DeleteSuch an interesting gradient! Very beautiful. I haven't tried it yet myself - but I have heard that you can use a glitter off base on the skin around your nails. That should make the cleanup easier :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sardrup! I don't have a glitter off base like the OPI, and I'm not sure I want to buy something like that, but I should at least invest in some Elmers white glue, I hear it works the same or similar.
DeleteThis looks gorgeous! I love how elegant and delicate it turned out. I'm in love. I definitely have to get that Dahlia. I haven't tried a textured gradient yet. Think I'm going to give it a try. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Giovanna - yes, Dahlia is a must have, it's a really stunning black texture. And the formula on all the Pixie Dust polishes is excellent! :)
DeleteI would never have thought to use Godiva with such dark, cool shades, but it works beautifully! Your colour bravery clearly paid off :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I wish the black had showed up even more.
DeleteSo well done! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I've attempted gradients with textures and they never seem to blend well for me. You executed perfectly!
ReplyDeleteLove this! So classy and beautiful!
ReplyDeletePerfect ♥
ReplyDeleteSooo lovely! I love how simple, yet stunning, gradients can be!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love these shades together! I don't think I've seen a light cream to dark grey gradient before. Stunning :)
ReplyDeleteawesomeness! would be great for a party or bday :-)
ReplyDeletelurve it!
