The end of Summer is upon us! I wanted to do a transitional mani to represent this changing of the seasons. The main colors are harmonizing greens with a neon edge. The accent nails are two of my favorite fall shades, deep dusty turquoise and a deep purple with jewel sparkles.

I really think these shades were perfect to show the transition from Summer to Fall.

A note about DSLR cameras… they show you imperfections and flaws that you wouldn’t see if you just walked up to a person and looked at what they’re wearing. Many a time I’ve had what I considered flaws in my nails and eyeshadows that MUAs said they didn’t see face to face. It’s something I often forget whenever I’m resizing and editing photos.

What do you think of these gradients? Would you wear either of them?
