Good morning everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! I am up early this morning thanks to a store meeting at work and decided I would take this time to share my Summer gradient I created for the summer portion of the #52weeknailchallenge. It has been so flipping hot this week and I wanted some thing summery but cool at the same time. A simple gradient with some bright pastels was the perfect pick!
For my summer gradient I started off with two coats of Alpine Snow by OPI. This is my go to base shade for most gradients. The bright white make the gradient shades so much more vibrant. Next I used a makeup sponge with Marry Me Robbie!! by Faby and All Glammed Up by China Glaze for the perfect sun to water inspired gradient. Everything is sealed with two coats of Marvel Liquid Macro Top Coat by SuperChic Lacquer.
So what do you guys think of my take on the Summer challenge? I am so in love with this shades paired together!!! It’s been some time since I did a gradient and I really don’t know why! This is such an easy technique with endless options. Thank you so much for stopping by today and I will see you all again tomorrow with the new OMG! Collection by China Glaze. <3

I am not talented at doing my nails even with one color. Your nails look beautiful and they definitely have a summery feel. I would love to try doing my nails like this but I would mess up. You make it look and sound easy!
