Friday Triad: Inspired by Jema (@nailsbyjema)

So last night just after 10 feeling rather sleepy and telling myself it's almost time for bed... I decide to check my emails and there's this email from Joyce saying she forgot to remind us, but tomorrow our Triad post is due. And I was like "nah can't be, I still have time"... And here we are, with a hastily written post, quick watermarking of photos and a slow laptop.

My watermark is different as the app I always use have decided to remove the font I prefer, making it a paid perk. So new font it is! Anyway, let me get to the Triad part of this post. It was Michelle's turn to choose and she chose this mani by @nailsbyjema. This was one that I had saved as well for recreation at some stage. I just loved the whole negative/sheer look! Let me show you what I did.

I started with a coat of Hean City Fashion white on my thumb, index finger and pinky. On my middle and ring fingers I have two coats of a sheer black polish I mixed myself. I wasn't too sure about my colours yet, but I knew I didn't want to do the pink combo, although I did consider it.

The day before I did this I bought Essence kiss the freaky frog and I was drawn to it. Matched it with Essence play with my mint and I had a decent gradient. At my cuticle is kiss the freaky frog, play with mint and CF white. On the sheer black I stamped from Lina twirls and swirls 1 with Nicole Diary black.

I of course had to add OPI matte top coat. Being matte the stamping is a little more visible and I can't decide which version I like more. I also love it when a gradient comes together!

What do you think? Which version do you prefer? Head on over to Joyce and Michelle to see how they've nailed this! I suspect someone may have used purple... I have a good feeling about purple :P

Thanks for stopping by!
