Stamped Pink, Orange and Red Gradient: Bright & Happy (52 Week Challenge)

I’ve gone for the bright and happy prompt for this week’s 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge and have a stamped pink, orange and red gradient.

The colours are certainly bright and happy, and the stamping image also seemed cheery to me.

I created the gradient with Nella Milano polishes: Blushing Bloom (pink), Chilli Blaze (orange) and The Rubinator (red). They blended nicely, and I realise that my new-ish makeup sponges that I have been using recently are no good. For this manicure, I picked up an older sponge and it worked so much better. Recently the sponges have been disintegrating a little on me, leaving tiny specks of sponge on the nail. I need to remember where I bought my old ones and get some more.

I stamped using Born Pretty Store stamping polish in White and Born Pretty Store stamping plate BP-L009. This plate is one of the larger, rectangular ones, and has an assortment of full nail abstract and geometric patterns, plus some small, individual tribal patterns. It currently costs $3.99, with free worldwide delivery.

I must work on creating my challenge manicures a bit further in advance, as I’m only just making it each week. We have a whole week to post for this challenge, and from the outset I chose to post on the last day, which doesn’t give much leeway when I’m pushed for time.
