Creme Gradient Using Avon Nailwear Pro+

Hello readers! I have some new polishes to share with you today. These are Avon Nailwear Pro+! They have 45 different shades and I picked 3 cremes that I thought would go well together for some nail art! Vintage Blue, Sea Breeze, and Jade! They are gorgeous!




 Before we get onto the nail art, lets see some swatches of the colors on their own!

This is Vintage Blue. A pale blue creme that is almost a one coater! I don't think I've ever used a pastel creme that wasn't streaky and needing 3+ coats. This is 2 coats shown above. 

Next, we have Sea Breeze. This is my favorite color of the three. It's a very squishy aqua creme, I almost want to call it a crelly(creme+jelly) finish. It was a little more sheer than the other two and needed 3 coats. Just look at the color and shine, no top coat! Just amazing.

Finally, we have Jade. This was similar to Vintage Blue and barely needed 2 coats. A gorgeous mint green creme.

 I saw this creme gradient technique over at the Nailasaurus with a tutorial a while back and have really been wanting to try it out! Once these Avon polishes arrived, I knew they would be perfect for a gradient so I had to go for it. And I am so glad I did-- I just love how this turned out! I had no idea how smooth the gradient from color to color could look!

The colors went so well together, it's almost hard to tell there are 3 different colors on my nails! 

I just love close ups! 

I used:
Orly Nail Defense
1 coat of Avon Vintage Blue as a base color
Makeup sponge and Avon Vintage Blue, Sea Breeze, and Jade for the gradient
Cult Nails Wicked Fast

What do you think? I really liked these polishes and this mani is one of my favorites I've ever done. I'll definitely be doing this more often! Which is your favorite of the colors?
