Grey Gradients

Create a simplified gradient nail with blocked out sections of color.  Since you don't have to worry about the smooth blending of colors, you can mix glitter, shimmer, and cream polishes.  

I used another fun Essie polish from Salon Supply Store. The silver polish used in the middle section, Apres-Chic, is from the Winter Collection. It is a metallic silver with a lot of shimmer!  I use silver a lot, so this polish will definitely be getting a lot of use. :)

Polish Used:

• Essie - On a Silver Platter
• Essie - Apres-Chic
• Petites Color Fever - Vintage Gray
• Base and top coats

Other Supplies:

• Nail vinyls (or you can use striping tape)
• Silver nail tape

This looks is inspired by a design in the latest issue of Nail It! Magazine.  They used different shades of pink, but I'm more of a grey girl.  To create this look:

1. Apply the base color with On a Silver Platter by Essie.
   
2. Use a nail vinyl or nail tape to section off the base of the nail, and the paint the top portion of the nail with a shiny silver polish like Apres-Chic. 
   
3. Repeat this process, sectioning off the tip, and painting it grey.
   
4. Add silver nail tape to divide all the sections.
