26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Lilac, Pink, & Gold

Hello! Today I'm back with another 26 Great Nail Art Ideas prompt, 'Lilac, Pink, & Gold'. If you missed my mani for the last theme, 'Yellow and One Bold Colour', you can find that post here. For my lilac, pink and gold mani, I decided to create a lilac to pink gradient topped with gold stamping. Here is the finished look. Read on for more info!

I started off with a base of Pretty Serious Cosmetics 'Cutie Patootie', a lilac creme from the Pastel Pet Names Collection. I actually used this for a different prompt back in April (see that here), and loved it so much I couldn't resist pulling it out again. Below is two coats without topcoat.

I then created a gradient using Pretty Serious 'Cutie Patootie' and 'Sugar Cakes', a bright pink creme from the orginal Pet Names Collection. Shown below is the gradient without topcoat.

For my stamping I used Uberchic Beauty plate Fairytale-01, purchased recently from Rainbow Connection UK (I've wanted it for ages!). I decided to stamp the swirls pattern on the top right corner using a Born Pretty Store gold polish. I feel like I need to credit the gorgeous Leas Nails (@leasnails) for this as it's her go-to pattern!

What do you think? I'm really happy with how they came out. They have a very girly feel to theme which I'm loving - I'm getting a very princess-y vibe! I'm looking forward to see what other people have come up with for today's theme. I'll be back in two weeks with the next theme, 'Water'.

Hope to see you in the next post!
