Blue and Pink Gradient

Tonight was the first time I've painted my nails in a very very long time. For me, a 'very very long time' is a month. I know, it's awful. Between school work, extracurricular events and attempting to have a social life, I've been pushing aside my nail hobby. It's been the toughest semester yet and a few unfortunate things have happened in my personal life recently. It made me happy to finally get to do something that I used to love to do.

But anyways...

Here's what I painted: It's a pink, white and blue gradient. This is my first time doing a gradient with a sponge. I used one of those make up sponges from the drug store. It's not perfect, but it's my first try and I like how the colors combined. They're bright, Spring colors.

I used 5 colors starting from the tips: Mesmerize by Essie, Blue Me Away by Sally Hansen, White Tip by Sally Hansen, Sweetie Pie by Maybelline, and Bubblegum Pink by Sally Hansen

The colors are a lot brighter and bold in person. I know I've written before that the nail designs look better in person than in a photo, and it still applies. Sigh...It always will apply. 

Hope you are enjoying the warming weather! The trees are still blossoming here and they're so beautiful! Flowers always brighten my mood.
