This is a follow-up on my post from yesterday. Quite by accident (aka just not paying attention), I mixed Zoya's 'Tanzy' with 'Rica' on my nails. I saw the potential of something cool. So, after I had my nails polished at the salon, I came home and did this...
I made a gradiated effect with Zoya's 'Rica' on the tips. I like that it is very subtle however, I hope you can see it in the photos. I got some strong, evening sunlight happening here.
I think this last photo captures it the best, but it is WAY more sparkly in person. Both polishes are.
I tried this first with a sponge. But since the polishes are very close in color, I ended up just layering, with just the bottle's brush, the tips, 3 times at shorter and shorter lengths so the color built up on just the tips. And to think, I wasn't going to order both of these colors. As I mentioned yesterday, I'm not a lover of orange polish. So, I'm VERY happy with 'Tanzy' and had fun with 'Rica' to make flame-tip fingernails.
This was my first attempt at gradiation. Have you tried it? What method did you use to create your look?

They are both very pretty on you. :) I like this effect. I've never tried it though I plan on it soon. :)
Flaming! I hope they were a hit at the meet and greet. :)
@MissMidnight Actually, it was very easy since the colors where so close in hue. It was a great first try for me.
@LWTT I only had my right hand done at the time and I only had 1 coat. I wasn't finished with it but didn't want to make a gawdawful mess to wear to the meet up. ;)
Amazing mani
-this is HOT, literally !!
