Different Shades of Blue Day 2: Rainbows
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today is going to be a nice day here. A few awesome things that have happened recently due to the past few days of the warm weather...all of the grass has turned green after being brown for so many months, I got to wear sandals for the first time this year, and the asparagus in our garden is starting to come up. It's the little things right? :) Today is day two of the Autism awareness challenge. I couldn't figure out if rainbows meant traditional rainbows or a blue rainbow so I went with a blue rainbow. I have to say this is one of my favorite manicures that I've done and I was sad to take it off.
I started with two easy coats of Zoya Blu, a creamy pastel blue that I adore. I had a stamping plate from Winstonia that resembled a rainbow so I decided to go for that. I took three shades of blue polish, OPI Eurso Euro, Essie Butler Please, and Essie Avenue Maintain, and created a blue rainbow gradient on the stamping plate. This was my first use of my newly purchased Winstonia plates and I loved the quality and how crisp the images came out. What do you guys think?
