I like that thinking @Mellmars1185. Then you don't have just choose one, you can't just try a bit of it all. 😄 🍽

Turquoise skittle / ombre mani with my thumb and ring finger nails featuring a turquoise gradient using each of the turquoise polishes in the ombre mani, but with a different application method on each nail. Sephora Collection L200 Palm Leaf Aqua (pinky) is the deepest of the three turquoise shades and surprisingly, the most opaque with one coat. Nails Inc. Endless Recycle (middle) is a soft minty green shade that requires 2 coats for a fully opaque and more even finish. Gucci 713 Dorothy Turquoise (index) is a pretty turquoise. Two coats is ideal but I can achieve a slightly opaque and mildly glossy finish with one coat. Gradient Effect:With makeup wedge / sponge & rolling method (thumb): This is how I first learned to create a gradient effect. I've heard of two different methods to do this (though I'm sure there may be more) - by applying color onto the end of the wedge sponge, and then (1) tapping the sponge onto the nail or (2) rolling the sponge onto the nail. In the past, I've used the first method of tapping the sponge, but this time, I tried the rolling method, which for me, gives me a cleaner, smoother look before using a top coat - I get less air bubbles with this rolling method. With nail gradient brush (ring): My first go with this brush didn't go as well as I had hoped but once I figured how to make it work for me, I find I like using it more than a makeup wedge for creating a gradient look, which I attribute primarily to not feeling like I have to use liquid latex around my nails.

I just read, from a couple of good sources, that "The Bear," Season 2, begins streaming June 2, 2023, on Hulu. Yay!
