Twinsie Tuesday: Seasonal Gradient

Hi everyone, welcome to Tuesday. Thank you to everyone who left me a nice birthday message, I really did appreciate it! I wasn't in the best of moods yesterday to be honest. I had a really bad skin reaction on my face (I think from a new face wash) and it has turned my face into a red rashy reptilian-looking mess. It's painful, looks disgusting, and won't go away. That kind of put of damper on things haha! I am back at work today and we had a snow storm overnight. Driving this morning scared me because the roads are icy but what can you really do.

Today our theme for Twinsie Tuesday was Seasonal Gradient. I had a little bit of a struggle with this one because I had so many ideas in my head. One afternoon I was driving home after work and the sky was the coolest color. It was mint and sky blue and the clouds were a deep purple and the rest were pink. I don't think I've ever seen a mint colored sky before, but it was really cool. That's where the inspiration from this mani came from :)

To create this mani, I started with a base of Essie Absolutely Shore, which is a very pale mint color. For my gradient, I sponged on China Glaze Fancy Pants and then finished off with a piece of glitter on each nail from OPI I Snow You Love Me.
