HPB presents: Nail art and tutorial with radial gradient and stamping "Tea roses"

Introduction

Today I'm posting my third nail design with May flowers for HPB and it also counts as stamping entry for 30 day of Colour challenge. This look was inspired by tea-roses which I had for Mother's day and it's my first attempt at radial gradient. I really enjoyed creating this gradient and stamping as it has my favorite colors all together. Even though final look turned out more orange than actual roses, I love it and would not change anything. It was also first time when I used cuticle protector called Crystalline nail veil, which I bought from Color4nails. I was every impressed with this product, it was easy to apply and clean up after gradient and stamping was super easy. It inspired me to create small tutorial on this look (figure 6)., let me know if you are going to try and recreate it.
