Early Summer Leaf Gradient

Hello all! Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, so I wanted to create a nail design that reflected the early summer months! I started with three China Glaze colors: Five Rules, Flip Flop Fantasy, and Grass is Lime Greener. I also used plate BP19 from the Born Pretty Store and Pure Ice Superstar. I decided to create a gradient with the China Glaze polishes and stamped over that with a leaf design in white. This was one of those looks that kind of evolved as I created it.

Sometimes I can get a good macro! I really liked how the gradient turned out. I was a little skeptical that the colors would go well together, but they did and it really worked as an early summer look. They are edging on neon, but not quite that bright yet. Are you ready for summer? The weather here is starting to warm up, but it has been off and on a lot lately. I am excited for the coming summer months and my annual neon week on the blog! I can't believe it has almost been a year, but I am definitely excited! Hope you like this look, thanks for stopping by!
