It's a very subtle gradient, but I promise you it's there! I used my first ever Ulta polish (eye poppy cherry) and my first ever Candies polish (orange pop), both of which I LOVE (thank you Gini)! I had to throw some leopard in there to round out the look - who doesn't like leopard?
I got to spend some time with my sister recently and of course she wanted me to do her nails. I ended up using my new Essence polishes and taught her how to do leopard print - I'm surprised she actually had black in her stash, I've been teaching her well!!

| The top is my work and the bottom is hers - pretty darn good for her first time and with a toothpick, not a dotting tool like I normally use! |
We had to take a fun picture and I love this one so much. My sister is my world, she is the most amazing person I've ever known and she is growing up into the most amazing young woman. I can't believe she'll be 16 in less than a month, I can remember holding her right after she was born - cutest baby ever!! Love you to the moon sissy!!
Please join me in checking out the other lovelies and what they came up with for G, I hope I see some giraffe's!

ReplyDeleteGradient shows up well in the pictures - who doesn't like leopard is right! By the looks of it, she IS learning well! Too fun.
ReplyDeleteAww I loved the last picture! I love to hear about good family relationships, it inspires me to keep mine cause you know, sometimes it's hard! Lol!
