Purple Gradient with Decal Roses

I was at my Cousin's wedding at the weekend.  The colour theme for us was royal purple/and or gold.  I did nails to match my outfit.

I did a gradient and added some nail decals I got a while back from AliExpress. For the darker shade of purple on the tips I sponged on China Glaze Let's Groove to start with, but it did not match up with the outfit.  So for the second coat I switched to CG Stella and it was perfect. The gradient was done on a base of Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud.

Items Used:
OPI Nail Envy
Sally Hansen - Lavender Cloud
Color Club - Fashion Addict
China Glaze -Senorita Bonita, Let's Groove, Stella
Etude House - Purple Glitter
Seche Vite Top coat

GOT Polish Challenge Part 2 - Week 4 - Tropical Gradient

Week 4 of the GOT2 (Golden Oldie Thursday) Polish challenge over at Crumpet's Nail Tarts. This week the theme is SomethingTropical.

I used two golden oldies (OPI and Sinful Colors) and two not so old for this manicure.  I have recently joined onto the IG wagon and have seen a lot of tropical palm tree nails, there are loads of tutorials out there too, I had to give it a go.  And if I do say so myself they turned out pretty good.  My daughter did not believe I did the trees, she was sure I used decals!!  But I assure you all, I did them myself.
Items used:
OPI Nail Envy
OPI - That's Hot Pink
Sinful Colors - Pinky Glitter
Nails Inc - Hobart Place
Pride of London - 343 (darker orange)
Black acrylic paint
