China Glaze - Sea goddess gradient

Hey lovelies,

Hope that you're having a great day this far :) My parents dogs are at my place for a couple of days so the three of us are relaxing, taking walks and enjoying life. 

Todays mani is a texture gradient. I have used two polishes from China Glaze Sea goddess collection. The darker pink is Shell we dance and the lighter one is Wish on a starfish. I love the names, there so funny. I love texture gradients, the are so easy to do and it looks really cool. This is how I do my gradients. First off I apply the colour closest to the cuticle over the entire nail. For this gradient I ended up with two coats of each colour to achieve full opacity. After that I gently dab the other colour on with a make-up sponge. I repeat the dabbing until I have a smooth transition. I think this gradient turned out great and I'm rely pleased with the final result. 

I know that not everybody enjoys texture polishes as much as I do, but they really are amazing for gradients. If your not a big fan of the gritty finish I have a tip for you. Most texture polishes require a lot of TC to get smooth. But if you take a nail file and buff the polish to even it out, all you will need is one coat of TC to get a super shiny finish and a really pretty gradient :)

Until next time, take care!
