First Time: Sponge Painting

 I know that using cosmetic sponges to paint a gradient on your nails is old news, but I've never actually tried it until now. I learned  quite a few things, and for me, this is something that is going to take quite a bit of practice. I started out trying to do a rainbow of six colors, but it was just not cooperating. (I should have taken more pictures..) So, I decided to just do the three, until I could get the hang of it.
I wasn't  happy with this, but I can definitely see potential, and can't wait to try it again. The colors I used were Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in "Sun Kissed" (pictured), Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in "Mellow Yellow," and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in "Love Rocks."  One Important thing was the base. I started with no base color, but the gradient just didn't show up. Then I tried a white base, which you see pictured. The third thing I did, but ended up on my right hand, was I used the yellow as the base coat. It blended so much better that way!

It turned out quite a bit better in person, the pictures just don't do it justice.
