New 31 Day Challenge - Day 16 - Color Opposites

Hey everyone! I can't believe I'm already halfway through the challenge. For today's manicure, I had to consult a color wheel to find out which colors were directly opposite of one another. I ended up choosing teal and orange-red. I wasn't sure how to combine these two colors, and unfortunately I think I did it in the worst way imaginable...
I started off with a base of Butter London Jaffa. Then I used a sponge to dab on Illamasqua Muse and create this gradient. I can't say I'm a big fan of how these colors meld into each other, but that's likely because they are in fact color opposites! Does this remind anyone else of a rocket popsicle?

Thanks for reading, and be sure to check out the gorgeous nails of the wonderful ladies participating in this challenge along with me!

    1. If you moved over just a little bit on the color wheel, you'd definitely get bright blue and orange!
