April Showers Challenge #6 - Ombre

Unfortunately I do not have a good selection of shades of one color, so I did a modified version with shades of purple.  I am not too happy with this manicure - but I had to do this one and didn't want to skip one of the challenges.

The colors used in this manicure are:
Thumb - Sinful Colors (unknown name)
Index - Wet and Wild - On a Trip
Middle - Wet and Wild -  Bite the Bullet
Ring - Sinful Colors - Bali Mist
Pinkie - SH Xtreme Wear - Lacy Lilac

Take a look at these other talented ladies who are participating in this challenge with me!

 Thanks for reading and keep on Painting!

Nothing too complicated - or inventive tonight!

I had a rough commute home tonight.  It took me 2 hours to get home when it normally only takes me 15 minutes!  They closed two of the three lanes of a major bridge on Interstate 95 in Richmond.  What a headache!!  So when I got home I was exhausted, but my nails suffered something awful today at work - and I broke off the corners of three nails too!  What a crappy day.  So here is what I did tonight, not too happy with the result - I'm sure I will be doing them again tomorrow.

The base coat is Sinful Colors Cinderella, it took 3 coats to be semi-opaque.  If I was patient I would have put on 4 for the most even coverage.

 Then I continued my love for holo by using Klean Color Holo Pink over the cinderella - to enhance the pink already in the polish.

Then used Shany plate SH18 for a simple flower in Konad White.  And a single top coat of Seche Vite for the mirror like shine.  :)

All my pics are taken with my cell phone,  so they are not the greatest quality and never show the true beauty of holographic polishes.
