Mish Mash Challenge #9: Blue

I am actually posting this weeks' Mish Mash Challenge on time.  Woot woot!!  This week is blue:

Colors used:



I was shooting for a fluid kind of gradient that was different across each nail, but once I got it down, the three blue colors I picked did NOT flow and blend well.  I got a little worried about it, but that was before I realized that 'Da Ba Dee' is in a blue tinted base.  It pretty much washed out the difference between the light and medium blues, but it smoothed out the transition to the dark blue.



I'm pretty happy with how this turned, even though you can't really see the 3 levels of blue.  Live and learn, right?

Don't forget to take a look at all the other submissions this week for Blue...
See ya!

      I wasn't even planning on buying this glitter - Missi @ Different Dimension has one that is similar, but in a white base. That sold out lightning fast about a month ago, so I got this one instead. I LOVE it!

    I *almost* bought that DD in that restock over the weekend! But, now with a sick dog and a roomie moving out in a month, my budget is thankful I didn't. It IS lovely, though and I love how you've used it here!

    Well I don't know if you can see 3 levels of blue but I can definitely see at least two. And that glitter is GORGEOUS! It looks like bubbles in water, reminds me of deep seas, I'm trying to see through and I feel like I could spot some fishes or coral behind the bubbles. Do I make any sense? Anywhoo, I LOVE IT!
