Pink Bubblegum Gradient

Hi guys, happy Saturday.  Hopefully the weekend is treating you well.  Today I have a really fun gradient manicure to show you.  I recently discovered a new product called Liquid Palisade which is basically like a peel off glue to apply to your fingers and nails.  I won it in a giveaway months ago but I wasn't sure how well it would work.  Big mistake, it works amazing.  I applied the glue around my fingers so that when I stamped on the gradient, I was able to peel off all of the extra polish and glue leading to a really easy cleanup.  I've done two gradients this week since I discovered how easy it was. 


To start off this manicure, I used a light pink base of OPI Chic From Ears to Tail.  I used a makeup sponge and sponged on OPI Kiss Me I'm Brazilian and then OPI Strawberry Margarita.  I finished off with topcoat.  When I was all done, I looked down at my nails and thought that they looked exactly like gumballs :)




What do you think of this pink and girly gradient?  I really liked it!  I think I see many more gradients now that I've discovered a super easy cleanup technique.

  1. Gorgeous! Pink looks wonderful with your skin tone. That glue polish thing sounds great! I like gradients, but it really is a PAIN to clean up. I always feel like an idiot with scotch tape all around my nails. I'm all about simple pretty, so that Liquid Palisades polish sounds like a brilliant idea. Do you think just glue would work? Or I heard OPI is making a glitter base coat. Anyway, great mani!
