Sometimes I do a manicure and upload it to my drafts, but then something happens and it never gets published. Either I have too many other things to post and then too much time passes, or I fall out of love with the look, or some weird Twilight Zone stuff happens and I basically forget that it's in there. I have been busy with behind the scenes blog stuff lately, so I thought it would be fun to raid my post drafts for a new look to share with you today.
This blushing peach gradient was a reject from the 31 Day Challenge; I ended up posting leather gradient nail art instead. Seeing this look now though, I find it quite pretty, and great for the ever-warming Arizona springtime.
The two polishes used in this look are:
OPI If You Moust, You Moust
Lime Crime Crema de Limon
This is the first horizontal gradient that I've done, I think. It was a little trickier than the typical vertical gradient but not unmanageable.
The weather has been so pleasant here lately... I almost want to recreate this look to celebrate the pleasantness before it gets hotter than the devil's armpit.
Oooh I do love a horizontal gradient - this looks great!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! :)

ReplyDeleteSarah, this is a little blast from the past with your old square nail shape! I'm enjoying your new roundies but must admit I prefer squares or squovals on myself. Thanks for your artistic inspiration as always!
ReplyDeleteHaha I agree, it's so strange to see them squared now! I am torn on which way I prefer them, but right now I think I am leaning a bit towards preferring the round. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I'm glad I hung on to it -- this mani isn't very "September" to me (when I originally did it).
ReplyDeleteI can totally see that! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you shared! I really love how this looks! :)
ReplyDeleteGeorgeous
ReplyDeleteThis gradient is absolutely stunning! I love how subtle but punchy it is.
ReplyDeleteI actually think I like the horizontal gradient better than the vertical! Plus those colors look great together!
ReplyDeleteThose colors remind me is colors in a peach! So pretty!

This is so cool, it looks like the light is casting a pink shadow across your nails!
ReplyDeleteI love this horizontal gradient, girl!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I am tempted to stamp over this with white or something.. beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWait. Isn't this a vertical gradient, not a horizontal one? Whatever it's called, it's still pretty freaking gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy reasoning is that the colors blend horizontally across the nail... I can see the other argument too though!
ReplyDeleteOooh la la! I adore how this looks like flower petals. :) <3
ReplyDeleteI love it Sarah. Perfect gradient!! :D
ReplyDeleteSo pretty need to try this color combo out sometime! :)
ReplyDelete(and yes by the facts this is a horizontal gradient since that the way he polishes are "going" even if the create a vertical "gap", haha. :) )
ReplyDeleteThese look gorgeous -- I love the combination of peach and pink! Crema de Limon is beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteWoah.. I thought this was a thermal polish, but wondered how you got the transition to go vertical :D! So cool!
