I got nail mail the other day which was the full China Glaze Bohemian collection. Having nowhere local to buy it, the cheapest option was to score a set off ebay. Initial swatches I saw on the collection were disappointing and I was starting to wonder whether or not I should have bought them, but then I saw Fashion Polish's swatches and PWOAR! she made them look stunning and I was glad they would arrive very soon.
Rather than swatching the full collection, I thought I would try a gradient with some of the colours. I used all the colours in this gradient except the purple one - No Plain Jane. I painted onto a makeup sponge: Swanky Silk, Rare & Radiant, Unpredictable, Deviantly Daring and Want My Bawdy. I painted a single coat on my nails with Swanky Silk as the base and then sponged on the gradient with Swanky Silk near the cuticle edge and all the colours down to Want My Bawdy on the tips.
The thing I especially loved about doing a sponged gradient was that I had zero brushstrokes. I also have to say that I found the duo chrome effect really quite strong with this entire gradient. On the angle it had a distinct green and teal look to it. I'm looking forward to wearing each of these, I think they are really pretty.
