Digits Design Series:I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Halloween! Design #3-Spongy Hallow



So this was my first attempt at doing a gradient with a sponge. I used one of those wedge-shaped make-up sponges to sponge on some Sally Hansen X-treme Wear Black Out onto 3 coats of LA Colors orange (sorry, don't have the sticker name). Here are the results:


 
In the midst of the process






























I wasn't crazy about how this one turned out. I guess for my first try at a gradient it wasn't too bad. But the color combination reminded me of this movie I once saw with a bird that had similar colored talons and I kept thinking of that when I would glance at my nails. My fingers also felt weirdly disconnected to my hands. I think it was the super brightness of the orange at the base of the nail (which doesn't show as accurately in the pictures) in contrast with the black tips.

Weird.
