Happy Tuesday! I'm working on a post for tonight starring a new-to-me indie brand that's just lovely. In the mean time, have a look at my nail art attempt for the day!

| Sideways Reciprocal Gradient Nail Art |
It's a Sideways Reciprocal Gradient. Now I didn't come up with the term "reciprocal" although it IS genius! I *think* maybe Globe and Nail coined that term - please let me know if anyone knows for sure. Even if she didn't you should check her out - she's AMAZING. I just scrolled through some of her stuff to see if I could find this reciprocal thing and I was in awe of her skills. I thought I'd come up with something "new" finally but alas...Hahaha! Story of my life. I don't know that anyone has done a sideways one yet though. Or there could be a kajillion out there.
UPDATE: It was Globe and Nail and you can check out her post here!
I was wearing butter LONDON Tea and Toast and decided to extend the mani by doing a gradient with Chanel Eastern Light and Revlon French Roast.

What do you think? When my nails are short I like to do it length-ways instead of across to give them the appearance of more length.
