Nail Design: Autism Awareness Blue Gradient

You've probably heard that April is Autism Awareness month. Last year 1 in 88 children were diagnosed with Autism and it continues to rise. That's more than children diagnosed with aids, diabetes, and cancer combined. In order to help shine some light of awareness on this disability, people have been painting their nails blue. If you're interested here's a video that really helps put all of this into prospective.

As my way of spreading awareness about Autism I decided to do a blue gradient. This is the second time I've attempted a gradient. The first time was awful and I wound up taking it off the next day. While this attempt turned out much better than the first, I still made several mistakes. I don't like the makeup sponge I was using, so I might look into getting something different.

The first two photos below are in indirect, natural sunlight.



The photo below was taken inside, with flash.

Here's what I used:
Essie "Blanc" for the base color
Love & Beauty "Sky Blue" 
Pure Ice "French Kiss"
