I thought it would be a great idea to base the nails on one of my own experiences. This popped into my head right away. It's colourful and happy, so perfect for a mani. We've all had experiences whether we know it or not. This particular one was not crazy or over the top but it makes me happy for some reason. Simple story...Some years ago I was at work talking with a co-worker. Behind him a way I saw what I am assuming is like an aura or spirit. It was these exact colours in the same sequence. Pink on top, green in the middle and blue on the bottom. Apparently my attention went straight to it because my co-worker asked what I saw. I was a little scared to tell him but once I did it was like he knew. He said he knew by the way I looked that I had to of seen something. No one else has ever been around when I've felt or seen something so it was great reassurance that I'm not crazy. That's probably why it sticks out in my mind
I'd also like to add a 'YAYYYY ME!'. I have struggled with gradients forever. Finally I was able to create one I can say I'm proud of. This is the first success I had but it did not last long because I was itching to try another. Yesterdays post In Flanders fields was my second. I didn't think it was very appropriate to add the 'YAYYYY ME' in that post though.
The pink is Revlon's 'Bubble Gum'
The green is Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure in 'Grass Slipper'
The blue is Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in 'Blue Me Away'
