Here’s why I love nail polish: it’s so easy to try new things and if it looks stupid, you remove it and all you’ve lost is 10 minutes of your life. I was a big fan of ombre fashion last year and thought maybe I’d give it a whirl on my nails. I usually wear Lippmann Collection in Sarah Smile, a pale pink shade that makes the nails look clean and I like bolder colors on my toes. So I branched out and decided to do a gradient style where the pinky is the darkest shade and it progressively gets lighter to the thumb. I did it with blue colors, but you could try this with shades of purple, green, pink or even black-dark gray-gray-pale gray-white.
The colors I used:
Thumb: Creative Nail Design in Turquoise Tint (which is unfortunately no longer available to buy).
Index finger: OPI Sea Ya Later Sailor, $6.79
Middle finger: Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine in Flash, $5.66
Ring finger: Creative Nail Design Hotski To Tchotchke, $1.92
Pinky: OPI Dating a Royal, $6.95

What’s your vote: a look for Wet n Wild tweens or something us adults can try too?

I love it! AND, I think what I am loving even more are the various hilarious names of the nail polishes — OPI has some fantastic ones, and the ‘Sea Ya Later Sailor’ and ‘Dating a Royal’ ones you used are classic examples. I’m currently wearing a red on my toes by OPI called ‘You Make Me Vroom’, ha ha! Can we get an article by Meg on ‘My Top 10 Favorite Nail Polish Names?!’ That would be so entertaining.
Hmmm… I am voting with the teens… or maybe into 20s, but after that, I think maybe not…
I love that you actually did this! Looks even better than I thought it would!
Thanks for the Information, thanks for your great Post. I will come back later .
