I really wanted to use this color, Revlon in Snow Bunny because I have been loving it since I bought it. It keeps catching my eye every time I pass my polish racks... but then again there are so many of the polishes *screaming* out my name as I pass by! I really did not want to do just a pure white nail in this color...it was just not appealing to me for this color, but I love, love this polish color. I snatched it off the shelf at Target as soon as my eyes laid upon it!
Every time I think of this polish, Revlon Snow Bunny, my mind keeps going to my dog... her name is Bunny. So I used her as my inspiration and decided to do a black to white sparkly gradient, as she is black and white and she likes sparkles and glitters. Ok... I like sparkles and glitters on her, but she looks soooo good in them! ; )
This is Bunny...love her! She is the best little dog!
OMG...how she loves to go to Lowe's and all the workers know her too! She kept laughing at this hat when it was on the rack and would not stop carrying on over it, so I put it on me and she about went through the roof. Then I put it on her and she though it was the best thing since sliced bread. Look at that huge grin! Needless to say, I had to buy the hat! : )

Ok...back to the nails.
And so here is my first crack at a gradient...
As I am writing this post I am in a quandary regarding the proper way to go about a color gradient. I have seen many tutorials on this and several different methods used. I think I may have used a "cheating" way to do this mani. A color gradient is really only supposed to me made of two colors, if I am reading this correctly... Wikipedia defines this as a "Linear Gradient" and reads...
"A linear color gradient is specified by two points, and a color at each point. The colors along the line through those points are calculated using linear interpolation, then extended perpendicular to that line. In digital imaging systems, colors are typically interpolated in an RGB color space, often using gamma compressed RGB color values, as opposed to linear."
Next
time I do a gradient I think I will implement a different technique
with this definition in mind.
Have you guys tried the gradient yet? How do you do your gradients? Do you use just 2 colors or 3 or 4 colors? :/
