Woohoo!!! two posts a day two days in a row!! LOL Don't get used to it ;-)
Anyway, today in
the New 31 Days Challenge the theme is Merge & Melt and while this was the theme I dreaded the most, it happened to be my new record in the quickest mani ever! It took me 10 minutes from the moment I started thinking of the colors to the moment I finished the clean-up! Not that I did such a great work on the clean-up but never mind. I like this mani and it is just a perfect ending to a very long and exhausting day! Let me just show it to you quickly before I go and crash on my bed!
So what is Merge & Melt you ask? Well, usually in the daily challenges there's a water marble day. But we have all been there, tried that. Some liked it more - some liked it less. In general - not everyone can do them properly. So Merge & Melt is just another way (and nicer if I may say so) to say "mix your colors". It can be a water marble, a pin marble, a saran wrap marble, a gradient, a splatter, water color... anything where the colors get to mix a little. So I decided to try the fan brush gradient and I have a feeling I am going to try this method again and again! It was so quick and easy, yet I think it has an impressive result. The colors I used from the red to the purple are:
Life -
Strawberry (a local brand),
Bourjois -
Orange Creation,
Peripera -
YE901,
Peripera -
GR302,
Sally Hansen -
Pacific Blue and
Nails Inc. -
Westminster. Oh and the
fan brush of course ;-)

That looks amazing!! Can't believe it was so quick and easy to create - looks so complex; thanks for showing me a new technique))
Pretty rainbow! And a way to get to use that little used fan brush.
Wow this is really pretty, Jin! You did a fantastic job with this! :-)

Love it! Did you do put a drop of each color on foil or something, then dip the brush and drag it across your nails? I'll definitely try this!
very cool! I really love this look, such a great idea to fan it out :)
Nice way of doing a rainbow :D
great visual effect!
Love this!! I really need to get a fan brush and try some things out with it.
Great effect! It doesn't look so easy, but I'll have to trust you and I'll have to try it! Beautiful! :-)
love it, have to try this someday!
