Nail art gradient nails - inspired by Malibu - LA Colours

LA Colours

http://www.lacolors.com/

So I was given a range of LA Colours nail varnish to play around with and post pics on my blog about them. I've created quite a few looks, but since its almost summer holidays (which need to come quicker!) I decided to do first inspired By malibu! :) I have my Video recorder on the way in the post, so soon I will be able to show you how to do nail art with a video :D

There are so many celebs right now that are sporting amazing nail art, and if you wanna learn how to get that look.. Then you've come to the right place!

So heres a picture of a beach in Malibu with the sun setting, it looks gorgeous! Can't wait for my holiday! :D

 I was given a wide range of colours, but these are the ones I used:

They are really nice colours, they have nail hardening in them, and they're also chip resistant! But the 'shock' colour is actually more yellow than that blob, it bright yellow actually...

Here's a picture of everything I used to create the look

Red - LA Colours

yellow - LA Colours

orange (Atomic) - Nails inc

black - ebay

maximum growth & hardener (i use for basecoat) - Sally Hanson

Top coat - LA Colours

foundation sponge - can get from most supermarkets and beauty stores

fine brush - ebay

wooden stick - from a nail kit

How to do it:

(this will be a video when my camcorder gets here)

1. Paint all nails with the maximum growth and wait to dry.

2. Paint all of the nails yellow and wait to dry.

3. use the sponge to dab the orange from the bottom of the nail to the middle, allow to dry.

4. use the same sponge to dab the red from the bottom of the nail to 1/4 up, allow to dry.

5. use the black polish and the paint brush to draw a plam tree on the left of the nail.

The Final Look

 So above is me sporting the finished Malibu gradient palm tree nails, and I really like them! the colours are bright and they arn't fading like some varnishes do. they have that glossy look - which makes them hard to photo as they're just so shiny! so if you like these colours then head on over to http://www.lacolors.com/ and get yours now! :)
