Ixnay on the Ombre

Remember Offspring?  Love that band... couldn't help but think of their album title as I attempted my first ombre. 
I started out with my Nail Magic Nail Hardener because of some disturbing peelage!  Nooooo!  And then?  Get this:  my mom's just been introduced to the joys of nail polish by me.  But my beloved, deceased Grammie LOOOOOVED nail polish!  I never knew that!  And her favorite?  They still make it!  Revlon's Cherries In The Snow.  Now I have my own bottle of my Grammie's fave :*)  How awesome is that? 
Cherries in the Snow is the darkest pink/red.  Sally Hansen's Presto Pink Insta-Dri is the lighter pink.  SV on top.  I used the neato technique found here!
Personally?  I think I need more blending!  Sarah and I were doing our nails at the same time and after we got outside we were astounded at all the problems we could see in our work!!!  HAHAHA!  We were all like, "What's this noise?  It looked way better inside!"  Hilarious.  Next time, we're doing our manis outside. Haha!
Any perfectionism aside, I'm pleased with my first foray into ombre!
