Gradient Friday : 2 way gradient

I decided to do a 2 way subtle gradient this week to share with y'all. First, I started off with a light to dark gradient from pinky to my thumb. Then I shifted the polish colors down and sponged them lightly on the tips. I wanted a more raw looking gradient, so I did not use a top coat to blend.

Base color from pinky to thumb: GOSH Bright Idea / Essie Chinchilly / Sally Hansen Greige Gardens / Essie Merino Cool / Essie Mink Muffs

OPI Rainbow Connection

Here is the last polish I have from the Muppets inspired OPI collection, Rainbow Connection. This is truly the definition of glitter bomb in a bottle. Rainbow Connection is a clear based polish with multicoloured (orange, silver, bright blue, magenta, and grass green) coarse glitter and various sizes of multicoloured hexagonal glitter. I used 3 coats in my pictures to make it somewhat opaque. Formulation was smooth but the placement of hexagonal glitter is really random and you might want to brush slower to deposit more. Next I decided to layer this polish over various colors (Index: Gosh Silver; Middle: Nails Inc. Taxi Cab; Ring and Pinky: Pepe's Purple Passion.) Finally, I decided to layer polishes on top of Rainbow Connection (Index: Sinful Colors Scandal; Middle: OPI Dating a Royal; Ring: Color Club Total Mystery).

My favourite that I have tried out of this collection is definitely Excuse Moi!. Rainbow Connection is a fun glitter if you do not have anything similar and the rest of the collection is fun too. I am overall quite happy with this OPI collection.

This collection is going to released November 2011. Keep your eyes open!
