Neutral Gradient

Hi fellow nail polish lovers!!  Happy Tuesday ;0).

I have a quick post for you all today.  I decided to try out a neutral gradient manicure.  For my base color, I used two coats of Aldo Shy Rose.  I then sponged Avon's Vintage Boutique and Aldo Chocolate Factory.  Finally I added Sinful Colors Opal Glitter.  OPI Natural Nail Base Coat and Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat were used for this mani.

I'm working on getting the transition of colors to be more gradual.  What do you guys think of this mani?

    Very interesting idea, Marisa! I don't think I've seen a brown gradient before. It came out really nice and it works perfectly with your skin tone. Plus the glitter adds that extra something. Very nice!

    I remember you said Aldo Chocolate Factory was your favorite brown--it really is the same exact color as chocolate! Great combo, I especially love the opal glitter on top. :)
