Double gradient nail art with square spiral vinyls from Emily de molly "Beyond colorful"

Introduction

Hello my dear readers today I have a double post for you with both left and right hands done using exactly the same polish, but different nails art techniques. No stamping though ;) I used cream/holo polish combo from my double color blocking post. For the left hand I did first layer of gradient using 4 different creams, applied square spiral vinyls from Emily de Molly and added second holo gradient with four matching polishes. These nails look wonderful and much more light, than with color blocking, exactly as I expected. And it's my entry for colorful #OMD3 prompt and vinyls prompt at 30 Days of Colour. On the right hand I did skittles nails with cream background and holo top, V shapes were done using stripping tape. Oh, and thumb had double gradient round spiral, just for fun. This was my entry for V-shape #OMD3 challenge. There is something magic about this colorful cream/holo combo, I simple love using it.

30 Days of Colour: Color blocking with vinyls, pastel creams and holos "Holo undies"

Introduction

Two days later, but I want to post my cream/color blocking mani for 30 Days of Color challenge. I had an idea to make double color blocking and use some vinyls, which I bought at Emily de Molly website, it was way to ambitious for my level of this technique. The polish combo of paste creams and holos works together marvelous, but whole mani would look much better with gradient technique, rather than blocking. Needless to say it took ages to dry and looks very thick. I could not decide which bottle to hold, so I made a group bottle pictures instead :) My favorite is spiral on the thumb, that's why I plan to repeat this mani using gradients and spirals.
