Gradient Purple Nail Art

I feel like I have been doing so much swatching lately. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love swatching new collections (possibly even more than I love nail art!), but I know that you guys would like to see some fun nail art every once in a while, so I decided to make this fun purple gradient nail art skittle.


I started with a base of OPI Alpine Snow on all my nails except my pinky, which has China Glaze Tart-y for the Party. Then, I sponged on Tart-y for the Party and OPI Miss You-Niverse on my first two nails, and attempted a gradient stamp with the same two colors and a PUEEN nail buffet plate.


I am totally in love with this look, and I love how my stamping skills are improving (although stamping gradients is a whole different story, haha! That'll take some practice.) I think the purples go well with each other because they are both cool toned.

I'd love to know - which type of posts would you like to see more of? Swatches, or nail art? (Or, do you like the amount that I post of each? Haha.)

  2. I like both swatches and nail art so a good amount of each would be perfect. This is a lovely purple mani! Everything compliments each other :)

  6. I think you post a great combination of both. There's nothing like appreciating a plain color for what it is. And nail art is fun of course and I like to see your creativity in that way :)
