Gradient using Cupcake Polish and Digital Nails

*Prize/Purchased by Me*

Hi guys! I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day weekend! The highlight of my weekend was getting to see my 10-month old niece!  My sister and her family live in Ohio, and with us living down in South Carolina, we don't get to see them as much as we'd like. We were able to go up when my niece was about a month old, but we've been watching her grow through videos and video chats. It was so great to get to see how much she's grown! She has such a big personality for such a little girl! And my kitty, Mr. Bloo, did so well with her. He's an older cat (13 years), and has never been around children. We figured that one squeal from her, and he'd been hiding for the rest of their visit. The squeals didn't really bother him, and he even let her tug his tail and pet his nose. It was only when she'd run after him that he'd go hide, but always came back out after a few minutes to try again! 

Enough about my awesome weekend, and on to POLISH! The other week I showed you some lovely polishes from Cupcake Polish and Digital Nails (original posts here and here). As I was writing up the posts, I thought that they would make a pretty gradient so I tried it! 

Gradient using Lucky 13 Lacquer "Flops"

*Purchased by Me*

This is going to be short and sweet because I am dealing with a kitty that doesn't feel well. If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen our little monkey cat. We took him to the vet on Sunday, and then again today. If he's not better by Saturday, we have to take him back. We have to give him subq fluids for the next two days, and do lots of hoping and praying every time we check his litter box. So far, I've only watched the vet give him the fluids, so I haven't had to do it myself yet. I'm nervous but it has to be done. I'll do anything for that lil' kitty!

Okay, so on to my nails... I've got a quick gradient that I did with a couple of "flops" that I've recently purchased from Lucky 13 Lacquer. Sometimes the "flops" aren't what she had in mind, or just aren't up to full release standards... but they are always gorgeous! I picked up several during the latest flop restock, and as soon as I looked at Fire Opal (red-orange) and Citrine (mustard yellow), I saw a gorgeous gradient in the making!
