Gradient and rose nail art with OPI Sheer Tints

I wouldn't be myself if I didn't try to make new looks with these beauties.

 

I started with a white base on all the nails:

Only You White French

Then I used the sponging technique for the gradient.

I sponged one layer of the 4 colors Sheer Tints and actually was pretty satisfied with the outcome;

a sweet pastel gradient with a minimum amount of bubbles.

But of course one of my 4 kiddies needed my help with something and I ruined my index :(

I didn't want to go through the whole process of cleaning, applying basecoat, painting it white, waiting for it to dry and making the gradient again.

So I decided trying to correct the ruined part with some more layers.

It worked...but of course the colors build up too and therefore the other nails had to get some more layers as well. 

Like I mentioned in my review. Layering these polishes will cause bubbles.

I tried to flatten some of them out with a topcoat but this worked only to a certain point.

But only when you take a close look you are able to see them.

 

For the accent I chose to randomly place the colors on the nail.

I added a topcoat to seal this part.

That way I could use the black acrylic paint and was free to start over when I wasn't satisfied.

I started with other flowers but ended up with the roses.
