essence - Lucy's Stash

Hello there :)

It's Summer Challenge Day so it's my second post of the day. The theme is Sunshine and I really like the result. I didn't want to paint sun or anything obvious like that so I combined two techniques - gradient colours and stamping.

I've used China Glaze Sun-Kissed, Orange You Hot? and OPI The Color Of Minnie for the gradient base and Essence White stamping polish and BM plate RA-106 for the stamping.

These are the girls participating in the Summer challenge, Check out their blogs and see their interpretation of the 'Summer Sunrise' theme:

Hello lovelies!

When I've been reviewing the two SpaRitual shades from Gold collection I had real need to add even more gold and sparkle. In the end I've done glitter gradient on both polishes but each gradient from different side of the nail.

On both nails I've used Essence Make It Golden and ELF Golden Goddess and the second manicure has additionally SpaRitual Conduit base gradient on the tips to make it more golden.. So what do you think? Which one do you prefer?
