I started out with Essie mint candy apple and I was originally going to do a sponge gradient but things got a little out of hand and I really liked the texture that the sponge gives a manicure before you start blending it. So instead I sponged a darker blue on top and then essie on top again. And since I sometimes have the inability to leave nails as they are, I played around with framing, taping, and some reinforcement stickers.
Enjoy!
