City Skyline Nails

Hello again!

I just posted my sky manicure from last week, but we're going to pretend that I posted it a week ago, when I was still wearing it, and that seven whole days have gone by, and now here I am with this week's manicure. So hello. How was your week? Mine was splendid.

Alrighty then. Here is this week's manicure, inspired by this video by cutepolish on youtube. I had never tried ombre before, and I fell in love with this design when I saw the video, so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone. Armed with a few of my favorite polishes and a whole ton of free time, I attempted my first complicated-ish design, and I think it turned out pretty well.

Polishes used: 
-Revlon Colorstay Base Coat
-Some white Orly polish, unknown name, for the base
-NYC Skin Tight Denim Creme (#115A) for the blue
-China Glaze Spontaneous for the purple
-OPI Black Onyx for the buildings
-Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Lightening for the windows
-Orly Instant Artist Striper in Crisp White for the moon
-Sally Hansen Quick Dry Topcoat

Here you can see the detail a little better.

I got a lot of compliments on this design the other day at a party, and its really simple to do.
I just wish it didn't wear off so quickly.
Anyway, it gives me an opportunity to try out a design I've been wanting to do for a while (; 
See you in a few days!
