Pick A Pink Gradient



Hello, Fireflies!

I rarely wear pink polish, but 'tis the BCA Season! The prompt for this week's Pick 'n Mix Challenge was pink, and a three-color gradient, so I did a gradient with three pinks.. and a black with pink glitter!

I started with Koco I'll Pink To That, a soft pink with a subtle gold shimmer.  The shimmers.  They always get me.  Annoys me to no end, though, when they are gorgeous in the bottle, and then nada on the nail.

...and then, we're done! I guess I got involved in the art and forgot to take pictures along the way.  Oops.  I just did a simple brushstroke gradient using the polish brush to build the gradient with darker pinks.

The next pink, Koco Strike a Posey, is a little brighter, and also has a little bit of shimmer.  Koco Punch-Drunk is more of a hot pink creme.  I finished off the tips with OPI Today I Accomplished Zero, a black jelly with dark pink to red glitter.


And then I added a pink heart rhinestone because I'm cutesy like that.  Hello Kitty, eat your heart out.

Are you sporting some pink manis this month, or are you more about the ghouls and goblins in October?
