Bastille Gradient and Vintage Roses

Hey there my lovelies and Happy Bastille Day... 
Sorry its been so long since I last shared.

One of my favourite polishes is Bastille my Heart by OPI, being that 14 July is Bastille Day I had to do a look using this polish so I thought I would try my hand at gradients and vintage roses.  I have done gradients before but practice is always good and it was my first attempt at vintage roses. 

I did the gradient fingers first and while they dried I watched a few youtube videos on how to do the roses...  and here's my look;





And the process;

 from bare nails I added a base coat as I'm trying to strengthen and protect my nails


applied my base coat colours


dabbed on black polish for gradient look



I cleaned up my nails and started painting on the roses on my accent nails.  I let them dry and then put a top coat on all my nails.  Unfortunately I was so excited I didn't take pictures as I went..






I haven't cleaned up my nails too well..  I'm still not good at getting polish all over myself.  I am stoked with how this look came out and hope that it last for days and days.

I can't wait to do this look again with different colours.


Hope you like this look.  
Thanks for reading and catch you next time  :D
