Blue Holo Gradient

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a good start to the new year. Today on the blog we will be staring off the new year with a more simple design a gradient design, yes I have done this kind of design before, I just love to sometimes just do a simple gradient design and I still wanted to share it with all of you even thought I have done quite a few gradients on this blog. 

On each hand I did do two different colored polishes, still a dark blue (the same dark blue) and then two different light blues. 

Here is the first version on my left hand which was my favorite.

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this blue gradient- 

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat. 

Polishes- KB Shimmer- Plant One On Me Collection- Lilac It Or Not, Zoya Enchanted Collection- Saint, Zoya- Twinkling Collection- Jen, Holo Taco- Toppers- Flakie, and Holo Taco- Toppers- Scattered. 

Nail art tools- Makeup sponge for gradients, and Holo Taco Protective Peel Liquid Latex. 

First when it comes to gradient we need to polish all of our nails with our lights color. (KB Shimmer- Lilac It Or Not), then let that dry. 

Then for creating a gradient from lightest on the tip of the nails to darkest near the cuticle, first take make up sponge and polish your lightest blue polish (I used KB Shimmer- Lilac It Or Not) then polish your darkest blue color (I used Zoya Jen). Then with your lightest color on the tip of the nails, dab the sponge on the nails to make a gradient. 

You will need to do this step few time so your gradient will be opaque. I went over each nail twice. 

For an added holo touch, take a Flakie Holo topper and polish on the darkest part of your gradient and then a Scattered Holo topper right under that, but not all the way down the nail on the lightest part just a little on the lightest part. (you will be able to see this better on the other colors I did on my right hand.)

Now for the second version on my right hand.

For this color scheme we will still use the same dark blue Zoya Jen, this time the gradient will go from darkest on the tip of the nails to lightest near the cuticle. For the lightest color I used a more light periwinkle blue Zoya Saint. For the gradient follow the same steps as before just darkest on the tip and lightest near the cuticle. 

Then once again for the glitter take a Flakie Holo polish on the tip of the nails and polish it on the darkest part then, take scattered holo and polish that on the lightest part but just a little bit not all the way on the lightest part. 

Once you are all finished apply a top coat to seal in your design to help it to last.

Which on of these gradients is your favorite? My favorite is the first on on my left hand, the one I used KBShimmer Lilac It Or Not this gradient I feel has an ocean look to it, which in the summer time I might do again for a nice tropical design. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this gradient design!

See you next time for more nail fun!
