I did this manicure earlier this week. I chose 3 of my most beautiful OPI nail polishes and wanted to find a way to use them together and this ended up being the result!
First, I painted an off-white base color, and I used OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls (seriously, I love that polish! I need a backup already!). Next I did a gradient using my 3 OPI colors and a makeup wedge. Those 3 colors (from cuticle to tip) are:
- OPI - Dim Sum Plum (the bottle I'm holding)
- OPI - No Room for The Blues
- OPI - Fly
I think I might have sponged on 2 layers of the gradient to make the colors look really bold. After that dried, I used one of my stamping plates (BM16, which I got in a large set through Amazon), to stamp on the daisy pattern. I love how girly and whimsical that plate is! I had to stamp it twice on each nail to fill up my entire nail since the BM plates are so tiny, but I think it turned out great considering it's 2 stamps and not just one.
I can't get over how nicely the colors blended! What do you think?
I love this so much! It's so gorgeous! :) Perfect gradient, and I love this stamp! I'll have to check out this plate!
