Hello lovelies,

So since I'm celebrating awesome 30,000 followers on Facebook, I wanted to share with you this Gradient Pattern Garden Nails today. Thank you so much for the following and reading my blog, it means the world to me!

I haven't done some proper patterned nails for a while and then I got the idea of gradient patterns! Barry M Almond (reviewed here) was the perfect base so I matched he colours to it:

I really love how the whole manicure came together! It took a little bit longer because of all the intricate patterns but the result was worth it!

I have used acrylic paints for the patterns, Krafty Gurl Gloss It topcoat and of course the Barry M Almond. What do you think? ;)

I don't think it gets more epic than this kind of nails lol! It took me about 3.5 hours to paint these and I'm quite pleased with them :) I'm not very good at painting faces so hopefully you'll recognise Angelina there :) Here are few more pictures...

I've been taking pictures and compiled a kind of step-by-step tutorial so you can see how these nails progressed. I have used A England Camelot as a base colour, acrylic paint and Barielle topcoat.

My inspiration were two pictures below - Angelina Jolie's profile poster and green flames when she does magic :)

So what do you think guys? Let me know in the comments..

Have a lovely rest of the weekend! Lucie x
