Hey everyone! Today's challenge calls for a technique that is new to me. I recently discovered syrup nails and wanted to try them out. For those of you who haven't heard of this technique, all you need to get started is a jelly polish. You start off by painting one coat over the whole nail, and then you add a second layer slightly higher than where you started. You repeat this process until the jelly color is almost gradiented from a light to dark color, with only one coat of jelly polish present by the cuticle line and something like five or six towards the tips. (I have no idea if that explanation made any sense)!
This picture makes me really sad. Firstly, you can hardly even tell that the syrup effect is going on. In real life it's subtle but definitely there. Here it just looks like I fail at painting a cuticle line! The other reason I'm disappointed is that the color in the picture isn't true to the polish. This is Zoya Paloma, a plum colored jelly. My camera kept capturing it as way more red than it actually is. I tried to play around with the colors, but I couldn't get it to look right. Sorry! I think I'm gonna try this technique with Cirque Tibetan Nights...

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