OPI Tropical Punch Ombre

I had so much fun with my Bikini So Teeny Ombre that I just had to do another. I asked for feedback on what my next one should look like, and it was suggested that I try coral this time. I went with OPI Tropical Punch, the shade shown on my middle nail. Once again, I love this look! I made this ombre a little more dramatic than my last by adding more white for the lighter nails and more black for the darker ones. I also thought this would have a nice summer look, but I feel it looks more Autumn-y. That's okay too because I am so over 100 degree temperatures.

I really like the shades on my thumb and index finger.

I used the same process as last time. One thing that was still a challenge was making sure I had enough of each color. With just small amounts of colors mixed together, they dry out pretty quickly. I needed two coats on each nail. So I got one color mixed, paint one coat on the same nail on both hands, and then quickly paint the second coat. There were a couple nails that got really gloppy with the polish drying up, but luckily this polish self-levels really well. Top coat (I used Seche Vite) also does wonders! The lesson here is that I should probably be mixing a larger amount together, but I just hate to waste what I don't use.

Do you have a preference between the two I've done? I really love them both, but this one maybe wins by an inch for me. Let me know if you have any questions!
