Monday Muse

Gradient Nails:


Whenever Friday comes along I always rush along to my overfilled jar of nail polishes and set up to treat myself to a fresh manicure. A manicure always brightens your day with the quick and easy splash of colour suited to your mood. Yet I find the hardest thing is always which colour to pick. So why stop at one colour only? Cure: each week I'm going to select one trend which has caught me off guard with its irresistible charm and daring character, just forcing me to catch up and try it. My enchantment to create this new segment sparkled into fruition when I came across this gradient style during the recent Emmy Awards. Kaley Cuoco stood flaunting her mismatched nails in her 1950's inspired black gown. Suddenly I was in awe with this quirky twist on singular gradient nails fading from light to slightly tacky, with an early resemblance of that "noughties" nostalgia. For a modern take on gradient nails opt for a base colour and gradually go darker as you move across your fingers. I simply adore this look for spring and the unique spin of our usually mundane manicure leaves me itching to paint my nails pretty in a tonal change.
