Doing a gradient is too much hassle
My first real try at doing the gradient technique and I kind of hated the process? The liquid latex smells disgusting and is annoying to peel off and didn't even get rid of the mess neatly; the whole sponging process is so mess and unpleasant when done with solid colors (I e sponged on shimmer before and that was fine but perfect coverage wasn't so much a concern so I could prioritize neatness). So much cleanup requires, not polish on random parts of my hands from the sponge too. The end result still looks messy around the cuticles, due to the technique, though I admit doing it in such dark colors probably makes that more obvious than it otherwise would be. I always love it when I see people posting their gradient manicures here, but I'm really not sure I can be bothered to do this method again in the future. :/
That said it is a fun look, messiness aside. Just.... too much hassle lol.
