The base here two coats of China Glaze Thistle. Went on smoothly, covered well, but didn't impress. That spells base polish to me..
Then I sponged on China Glaze Devotion and some Essence Multidimension Purple Diamond starting from the tips and started messing around. I painted on some hearts using a dotting tool with the pink from Essence Circus Circus Cotton Candy, and lined them with Sally Hansen black nail art pen.
I think I like the heart design! <3
And here are the polishes, CG Thistle on the left and Devotion on the right:

Cute design! The colors make a really nice gradation. That essence polish is still in my stash of untrieds. :(

ReplyDelete@oNN & SB, Thanks for commenting! The mani was by no means perfect, but it's amazing what you can do with taking photos from a certain angle... :)

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love the gradient from purple to pearl :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! The colours worked surprisingly well together. You can't always know that just by looking at the bottles.. I just got lucky this time. :)
