Gradient Neon Nails with Stamping

Gradient Neon Nails with Stamping

I attempted to do gradient nails again, this time with neon colors (which sadly my camera doesn’t pick up). The gradient is much more subtle in the photos. Believe me, it’s awesome! Anyhow, I skipped the glitter this time and went straight to stamping. I love how it turned out!

Base Colors: China Glaze Pink Voltage (Neon), Zoya Charisma
Stamping Color: Konad Special Polish Black

Gradient with Lines Nails

Gradient with Lines Nails

Hi all!

I wanted to do another gradient with stamping yesterday. First, I attempted to use this method to create the gradient and it was just a big old mess. So, I went back to applying each color individually to a sponge and then sponging the color on. I felt like I had more control that way. There was also less clean up. :)

After the gradient, I put on a coat of glitter and then stamped in black.

Base Colors: China Glaze Aquadelic, Gothic Lolita, Fuchsia Fanatic, and Fairy Dust.
Stamping Color: Konad Special Polish Black
Stamping Plate: Konad S6

Base Color: Zoya Wednesday
Stamping Color: Zoya Ibiza
Stamping Plate: Konad m83

I saw Zoya Ibiza used for stamping on a blog a while back and decided to try it out. I think it works because it’s such a dark color. I was sure to stamp it very quickly, however. Being that it’s a regular polish, it tends to dry much more quickly than the Konad Special Polishes. In fact, you can’t see it, but the stamping on my thumb is all sorts of messed up because I wasn’t fast enough. :)
