How would I recreate these nails?

[JulieJ]

A client has sent this picture to me, asking if I could do them for her.
I use Shellac & have Wildfire and Blackpool.
Could I do this by sponging? or should I use an additive?
Please help. Thanks xxx

The easiest way would be to use additives as you can blend and create a graduated effect easily. I would use your Wildfire and the Black CND Additive faded down, or you could use Blackpool then apply Red Additive faded up but I don't think the Red Additive would show up well on Blackpool. x

Christian Louboutin Inspired nails! I love this style! I agree totally and Wildfire with Black Pool IS the closest match. I've never done the gradient but if I were; I would use the black CND additive.

In the photos I used Nude Nickers, Black Pool and Wildfire.
The French tips is Beau, Decadence (with Ruby Ritz on top), Black Pool with a gold decal and Wildfire under the free edge. I do aplogize that my nails are not as tidy and shaped as I'd like because I have a broken arm and a cast (covered in lace).

The photos should show you the colours though... I hope this helps.

I did something similar but with Tinted Love and the black additive...Just be sparing and build it up as a little goes a long way and the black gets everywhere!!! Lol ��

I did this with the sponge Client likes it but I think the sponge effect is too obvious. I'll get the black additive, I think x
