Sunset nails

Thanks to +roa' hamouda (who you can find here on Facebook) I have another mani for you :D
She also commented on my "I have some spare time-challenge" post.
Asking me for sunset nails.
I've done some tropical nails in the past which also had a kind of sunset there
but I never got to really focus on the sunset.
 
Before starting my mani I had to check Google for some inspirational sunset images:
 
 
The left image I chose because of the colors.
I love this gradient and decided my gradient had to look like this.
The second image I chose because of the grass.
I prefer a black silhouette though (most easy) but at least my mani had to include some grass.
 
First step: Making the gradient.
 
These are the polishes I've used for the gradient:
 
- Only You White French
- Only You 113 Banana Split
- Kiko 238
- Essence Beauty Beats 01 Baby, baby, ooh!
- Maybelline 650 Midnight Blue
 
I've used the sponging technique.
And here is my sunset gradient:
 
 
Second step: Getting some silhouettes on there.
I've used black acrylic paint and a detail brush 000 to paint them.
 
 
As you can see I also added some wild flowers just to make it more me :D
Hope you like it!
 
By the way if you have ever any request for a nail art. Never hesitate to ask me!
