ABC Challenge, G is for Gradient and Gold Flakes

Hello everyone! Sorry I'm a little late with this one.  I was pretty excited to do a gradient for G since they are my favorite thing ever ever ever but I also decided to dress it up a little bit more with a gold leaf top coat as well.  For the gradient I used American Apparel Dynasty and Essie Van D'Go, and the top coat is a homemade version I picked up online from someone who made a small batch.  




I got the gradient color idea from a picture on Pinterest (isn't that where all inspiration comes from these days?) and I like it because it reminds me of summer....which seems to be soooo far away at this point but eventually I know it will get here.

  1. OOOOOOOH, Kate! This is stunning. Great "G" mani, girl! I envy your ability to do gradients. The only gradients I've managed to do are glitters, and those are simple. The gold leaf is also a lovely touch to an already beautiful gradient.

    Have a great weekend, darlin'!

  3. I like peach/purple almost as much as I like green/purple. It is VERY summery - makes me want the warm weather in the middle of all this snow.

  4. Pinterest is a biggie for nail art ideas! I love it. And the colours you used for the gradient are soo summery! They remind me of a tropical cocktail drink of some sort!
