"This is Halloween" Nail Art Challenge: Gradient

Hello again!! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Can't wait for the next one, yes? :P

Indoors, artificial light, no flash.

Today's nail art challenge prompt is "Gradient"! Yay! I love doing gradients. Well, ever since I read the tutorial by Sammy over at the Nailasaurus, I love doing gradients!

For this look I started out with a base of Milani White Out. I then layered Orly Orange Crush over that. Orange Crush is a sheer, yellow-orange jelly. I topped all of that with a quick coat of Seche Vite to dry it faster. Once it was dry, I used a make-up sponge with some more Orange Crush and China Glaze Riveting. I love how this turned out--the light orange at the top and then fade to the darker and shimmery Riveting. Take a look at it in the sun:

After this was all dry, I used BM-13 and Konad Special Polish in black to stamp the spiders and their webs. I topped it all with a coat of NYC's In a New York Minute Fast Dry topcoat. My thumb came out the best.

Orange and black are classic Halloween colors, and I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out.
