By the way, I'm not sure if it's noticeable but I did file my nails down a bit. They were looking a little weird in photos and since I have a blog and like to take photos of my nails, I obviously want them to look nice in the photos. :P I do like my nails long though, and I probably wouldn't go any shorter than they are now (by choice anyway).
I saw a tutorial by a girl on Instagram called ohtammm for a rainbow gradient! It looked really gorgeous so I thought I'd try it for today. :) \
I wasn't super happy with it when I tried it, because I accidentally mixed up where I put two of the colours and when they blended together, they didn't look pretty. :( So it didn't turn out looking really rainbow-ish but it wasn't so bad.
The polishes used for both of these looks were:
- China Glaze - Dance Baby
- Essie - Fear or Desire
- China Glaze - Kinetic Candy
- NYC - Lemon
- OPI - Do You Lilac It
A tip I'd have to give is definitely to wet your sponge beforehand and ring it out, it helps for the polish not to sink into the sponge so much.

I also prefeer your 'traditional' rainbows but both blends are fab! So glad you put the tip about the wet sponge as we'll all be trying gradients for tomorrow's challenge.
I'm really enjoying this kind of tie-dye mani!
