Purple Gradient with Stamping

Hi all,

Today's nail art is pretty simple and anyone can do it :)

Things Required:
A makeup sponge
Nail polishes (preferably 3): I chose 3 shades of purple
Konad Stamping Plate #m2
Konad White Special Polish
Glitter for decoration (if wanted)


First apply a base coat to protect the nails, I use Jordana Nail Strengthener as my base coat, and apply a coat of white nail polish (used Lakme Color Crush 08), let it dry. Then on a makeup sponge make 3 layers of the colors, starting from the dark shade of purple to the lighter and then the lightest. Sponge these over the nails and if required do a second sponging by reapplying the colors to the sponge.  Apply a fasting drying top coat (used Maybelline express finish top coat) to blend the colors well.  This is how the gradient looks like.



Now once it completely dries, stamp with the Konad stamping plate and polish.  Once done, apply small sequins with the help of the top coat on the 2 tiny flowers to decorate and finally apply a generous amount of top coat to make the design last longer.  This is how the final manicure looks like.



Xoxo
