I used to hate doing ombre nails or gradient nails.. I'm not even sure what to call them any more so I'll call them.. ermm.. Ombient! All that mess with getting foundation sponges stuck to the nails and clumpy patchy-non-blending'ness.. it was a tad tedious. However, as they say, practice makes per- well not perfect but its a LOT easier than it used to be and much more fun. I still have the odd sponge drama but now I've ironed out the method and it tends to work just fine for what I'm aiming at.
The stamp I've used today is from Monster Bundle plate BM-407 and I loooove this pattern so much. I think I may just end up using it every day. I don't know why but the angular abstract forest scene really appeals to me so it's fast becoming one of my favorite plates, up there with the Konad string hearts pattern.
So as always I started with the base. Used a grey, navy and black for the gradient with an Allura foundation sponge (for some reason it has to be a specific diamond shaped sponge, I can't seem to get the same results with the others). Dab dab dab with the sponge refreshing the lines of polish every two nails. Then I use the clear base coat again over that to smooth it out and gently blend the gradient, though only one sweep of the brush. Once its all dry, on with the stamp and then Seche Vite to finish.
