Nail Art: Tri Polish Tuesday Challenge - Lovely Spring Gradients NOTD

It's Tuesday. It's also the first week of March, which means...

1. It's Tri Polish Tuesday!
2. It's time for a new set of Tri Polish colors!

So what color-filled goodness does March bring? In the spirit of Spring (oh, PLEASE say spring is coming soon!), we're going to be doing Green, Blue and Purple!

Last week, I had to skip out on the challenge. but I was eager to give it a try again this week.



Okay.... I have to admit it straight out. I cheated a bit this week. I know that it's the Tri POLISH Challenge... but I kinda sorta ignored that a bit this week and went for Tri COLOR Challenge.

See, I had just finished swatching Love, Angeline's Lovely Assistant, a pretty white crellie with lavender and aqua hexes suspended in it. (Review coming this week sometime!) I was looking at March's color scheme and realized what I had on my fingers fit the criteria perfectly!



"Okay," I thought. " I think I'm going to sponge a gradient onto the tips in blue and green, and that'll be my entry for this week!"  Julep's Francis, a springy grass-green, was a given. The problem was, I couldn't decide what blues to use! I narrowed it down to three different blues, and went back and forth over which one I liked best.

So I cheated and used all three.



(Confession time: I don't have any light purples/lavenders in my collection, yet. I have a few greens, but blues make up probably half of all the nail polishes I own.)


Products used in this manicure:



  • White glitter base: Love, Angeline - Lovely Assistant
  • Green gradient (pinky and thumb): Julep - Francis
  • Bleu gradient 1 (ring): Butter London - Poole
  • Blue gradient 2 (Middle): Butter London - Artful Dodger
  • Blue gradient 3 (pointer): Julep - Amy



Also, sorry for skipping Tri Polish tuesday last week. Last week's attempt for the challenge was such a disaster that I didn't even brave showing it. It was a good idea that I rushed too much,and I just couldn't execute. I liked the idea, so I'll definitely be trying it again!

    1. I think we should allow ourselves to cheat once in a while ^_~

      So much love for Love, Angeline polishes. I'm a sucker for a good crellie and she has soooo many pretty ones. I wish I could afford more right now!
