I don't know if you're aware but last weekend it snowed in my home (near Huddersfield, England). It snowed a lot! Which was really unfortunate because I was so ready for spring and even dreaming of summer. Hence these incredibly colourful tropical inspired gradient nails with a little bit of stamping over the top. Totally ridiculous but they cheered me up :)

The California palm tree stamp inspired this design

The yellow I used for stamping is also the yellow in the base which is why you can't see the top of the tree. |

I love the yellow flowers fading out of the gradient. I don't know why my palm looks so tanned in this one. |

Or why one side of my thumb looks tanned in this one- weird |
I didn't like this one as much as my other manis- I think I should have stamped them all in yellow- I really like that if you take a glance it just looks like a gradient but on closer inspection there are designs over the top.
Polishes used:
Gradient- NYC High line green and Water street blue, Bourjois Sunny sun yellow
Stamping- Sunny sun and OPI Flashbulb fuchsia
