Try It On Tuesday - Photo Intense Warning!

Jilltastic Nail Design and some other bloggers came up with the awesome idea of trying out a polish we've never used before on Tuesdays, and she's calling it Try It On Tuesday. This is perfect since I usually do my nails on a Monday or Tuesday :)

I've gotten so many new polishes lately that I couldn't just pick one so I went with five :D
I've gotten a lot of reds and oranges, so I decided to do my first Ombre or gradient for this first event.

Here are the polishes I used:

Zoya Arizona
Zoya Myrta
Julep Mandy
Zoya Kimber
Sally Hansen Red Hot

On to the pictures! I will review each of these at a later date. Please excuse my messy nails... I'm not feeling too well today. :(

(in this photo, my pointer finger looks a little smudged; it's not - my nail itself is a little chipped so while the polish painted on smoothly the difference in the density of my nail gives the illusion the polish smudged. Just wanted to make that clear! )

So those were all my left hand; on my right hand I flip flopped the colors. Don't ask why, I just like to do this :) Good idea, too because I got different lighting effects with each hand!

What do you think? I think I should have switched out Arizona with another shade, but I think this turned out pretty well for my first Ombre and considering this is the first time I've used any of these shades so I didn't really know what to expect.

Guess I know what I'll be reviewing this week now, huh? ;)

edit: I just realized these could be my "success nails" as I either got all of these polishes for free or dirt cheap, haha!

sheesh I keep remembering to add things (can you tell I have a headache? haha) I was wearing 1 coat of Sally Hansen's Teflon Tuff top coat in all photos.
