Light blue gradient

This weeks color for “Lacke in Farbe … und Bunt!” by Lena and Cyw – “hellblau” (light blue) – finally gave me an opportunity to do gradient nails again:

Using a thin and sheer polish like “so cool” wasn’t the best idea, though. This part of the gradient isn’t 100% opaque (as you can see if you look close), and I also had some trouble with air bubbles, which fortunately Seche Vite could fix. But at least the polishes mixed nicely. 🙂

And I finally gave my water decals a try, I had them for ages, but never came around using them. This was so easy and the result is so pretty, so can somebody please tell me why I took so long to do it? 😀
