I've done gradient nails before, but it wasn't anything spectacular. After learning a few tips from Rebecca at
Rebecca Likes Nails, I really wanted to try it again. The link to her gradient tutorial is
here. I don't know if you'd call this gradient because the colors don't exactly "blend" together, but it's the same procedure. I first painted all my nails with one coat of China Glaze in Hey Sailor. Then I sponged on China Glaze in Happy Go Lucky. The last color I used to sponge was China Glaze in Starboard. Lastly, I stamped using BM 208 with Konad black. I wanted to use zebra print pretty bad, but I wanted to change it up a little since I try not to copy people's nails exactly, even when I give credit. It just feels a little weird. Ok anyways, I LOVE how this turned out! I'm totally going to do this more often!

| Don't mind my thumb. I forgot to sponge all the way to the sides and only noticed it after pics. |
That looks so awesome! I love the colors and stamp choice!
