As blue is my favourite colour of all time I picked up the three blue leaning shades Noelie had: Ice Pop Paradise, Aqua Opal and Lazy River. I recreated two fingers from Traci's mani across my four fingers with the technique she wrote in her post. It came out as this gradient that reminds me of the clear waters in the Caribbean!

I took macros of each nail since I couldn't stop looking at them and thought I would share the flakie goodness! Enjoy!
Index Finger - Ice Pop Paradise |
Middle Finger - Ice Pop Paradise and Aqua Opal |
Ring Finger - Aqua Opal and Lazy River |
Pinkie - Lazy River |
And lastly, just for fun I did a gradient of the three colours on my thumb. Oooo shiny!

The formula on these were lovely! They have a jelly base and are packed with flakies. I didn't have to do any extra digging in the bottle to get this effect and they were opaque in 2-3 coats! They had a normal dry time and dried to a glossy finish.
My nails have Seche Vite top coat for extra shine and these pictures were taken in direct sunlight. (Taking advantage of the sun before Winter hits us!)
