DAY 10: GRADIENT nails

Gradient nails! I decided to use an ocean-ish theme for the this set of gradient nails. The reason why there is only one lonely dolphin on my ring finger is because I actually dislike sticking 3D stuff on my nails. Firstly, I really doubt that this little dolphin is still gonna be there by tomorrow morning. Secondly, with 3D deco, washing my hair is a hassle!! It will get trapped and all when washing, plus the worry that it'll just fly off when I pull it through my hair.

I actually coated two coats of Zoya Maisie to give the nice fleck effect (ocean-ish look!), which isn't obvious in the first photo, but more obvious in this one. Its more obvious in actual. And here it is, gradient nails, wrapping up the 'colour segment' of the 31 Day Challenge.

Here is what I used.

From left to right: OPI Let's See The Ring, O2 Skin Nail Polish, 3 blue Faceshop Nail Polish and Zoya Maisie.

Zoya Maisie over Black Polish

Zoya Maisie is really an interesting polish! The flakes are green at one angle and blue at another. Kinda reminds me of fish scales.. haha! ok mermaid scales sound better?

Layering it over black polish allows the colour to stand out more I'm not sure if layering it on white will have the flakes be as striking as it is on the black.

Zoya Maisie

Early this year, I chanced upon a weblink and found Zoya nail polish, Fleck Effect. I really fell in love with the colours and the flecks! It looked really nice and I wanted to get Maisie. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any online shops selling it (besides Ebay, etc). I also found out that they do not ship to Singapore so there was no way I could be buying it from them (not that I have a card of any sort to begin with).

Just recently, I went to Nex's Ministry of Cube and found a few collections of Zoya polish!! And there it was! Maisie! And so, I went back to get it today, along with a bottle of Seche Vite. I have no idea how good Seche Vite is, to be honest. My friend did recommend it to me, saying that it really does dry the nails fast.

I'll write more again after trying both out. Stay tuned! :)
