Striped Skittle Gradient


The colors used for this manicure were plentiful. 15 different bottles from several different brands, with the common denominator, Lime Crime. You get the best of two worlds: skittles and gradients. Cheating at gradients with stripes is something I've wanted to try recently, and this one was pretty great! It probably took longer than a regular gradient since I did both hands and the non-dom is less than perfect and steady, but like I said, the best of two worlds. The best!


I'll happily edit this post with each polish color if you're interested, but for now, let's just bask in the polish bath I've set up. What a magical place!

    This looks fantastic! I just did my own crazy striping design, and I used the same colors on each nail so I know this must have taken FOREVER!

    This is super cool. I tried to determine which of the colours I like best, but it's impossible. Great job!!

    I saw this when I just woke up, in a midst of blurriness I thought those were metallic polishes! Don't believe me? Go ahead cross your eyes a little and stare at the beautiful manicure! hahaha!

    I must say you've position the colours really well! And they look splendid!
