Don’t you just love it when you have a look in your mind and it comes out better than you even expected? That’s exactly how I feel about this gradient!
I will be the first to admit that I am late to this party. I’ve actually been on the lookout for these cute crellies since reports about them first started popping up back in February! I finally checked one of the higher volume Walgreens in my area and there they were! Even better, Sinful Colors was on sale when I was there so I got each of these for $1.50/ea.

This is a mani from exactly two weeks ago (I feel like a huge slacker when I say that!). Our #mommysmondaymani prompt two weeks ago was to do a mani to match the theme of one of your kiddos birthday parties. My daughter is only 5, and we’ve only had one themed party, so my choice was super easy!
