Teal Tuesdays...Challenge Gradient

Good Morning,

Today is Teal Tuesdays the challenge: Gradient

I've shown you several gradient manicures so this one should have been a breeze to do. My challenge was coming up with another combo to go with the color teal. I decided on orange, Morocco colors.

Moroccan Doorway- Patterson Maker

By sponging on both colors the two combining together is somewhat of a burgundy color. I think that is the fun part doing gradients.

Teal Tuesdays...Glossy/Matte

Teal Tuesdays Challenge: Glossy/Matte

I was stumped by this challenge fumbling around trying to come up with an idea. For some reason when I think of a matte I think only black looks good matted. I thought about mattifying my teal color but for some reason I didn't want to try that. I'm pretty pleased kinda sorta but, it took me several tries to get it looking right. I had bubbling issues, not applying neatly I guess ♪it's just one of them days♪ You know what I'm talking about. Ha!
