I even impressed myself with this one...

I would say that this is probably one of the best and one of my favorites that I've done to date.

You see, it all started as a hopeless mess...

With Reagan at the cuticles, Arizona in the middle, and Wednesday at the tips (told you you'd soon be seeing these new Zoya beauties I picked up!!), they began like so:

In messy, unequal thirds

I then did just a tiny bit of sponging to make it a little more gradient and a little less blocky:

Added a coat of Pure ICE Oh Baby! To smooth everything out, put some Wet n Wild Hallucinate on the tips, and freehanded the palm trees with black acrylic paint.

See what I mean?! Much better than my first and second palm tree nails!! I love how these ones turned out! So much so that these lasted almost a whole week... Until I just couldn't bare the tip wear anymore!

Do you have any "I can't believe I painted these - amazing!!" manis?

Buenos días. =)
