I don’t use the most common method of putting both polishes on a piece of plastic and pre mixing them.  I use a method I found on Pinterest from The Beauty Department where you soak a makeup sponge in water, then paint stripes of nail polish directly onto the sponge.  I sponge it over prepainted nails to ensure it’s opaque and sponge repeatedly while moving up and down slightly to create a smooth blend.

I love how this looks a bit like a duochrome polish at the same time – I kept flexing my nails expecting to see a colour shift!  What do you think?  Have you jumped on the gradient bandwagon yet?  I love how easy it is now to do a gradient manicure and they make a fab undercoat for stamping too…I’m thinking of stamping over this one, I just can’t decide whether to use black, dark grey or silver.
