For today's mani I did a quick google search and stumbled upon this dress by Elie Saab. Isn't it gorgeous?

Quite the row of polishes:

• Sinful Colors - 101 Snow Me White
• NYC - 003 Prey of Grey
• W7 - 28 Black
• China Glaze - 1148 Tart-y For The Party
• China Glaze - 1292 Petal To The Metal
• Maybelline - Bleached Neons - 242 Coral Heat
• Maybelline - Bleached Neons - 244 Chic Chartreuse

In Elie Saab's dress there is a gradient from black to white hence my base is a black to grey to white gradient that I sponged on. Before I continued I sealed it in with top coat. For the colour, I added brush strokes with the different coloured polishes and diluted them a bit with some nail polish remover. I ended with G&G HK Girl top coat.

I really like how this turned out, even if it's not as blended as the dress itself.
