Pastel Sponging with Stamping

Hi guys! Today's my birthday AND Dustin's last day of class before finishing school...so it's a good day!

This isn't what I am wearing for my birthday, I will probably post that tomorrow. I saw an easy way to do this look on Pinterest instead of trying to make a perfect gradient by hand. I started with a white base. Just paint the sponge directly with all the colors and dab it once on some paper and then the nail and it's done! Maybe you already knew about that. haha


This is Sinful Colors Unicorn, Beautiful Girl, and Sweet Dreams.


To add a little something, Dustin did stamping that was fun and springy!



Love it! Have a great day! :)
