Poison Swamp - Dance Legend Supernatural, Dance Legend Hell Money

Following on from last week... what's better than one polish from the Dance Legend Mystery collection....? Why, two of them, of course! =p

[Hulk smash!]

There was sooome thought behind the Hulk-esque colour scheme! I swear~

Quick photo of the base I started with in last week's post - Dance Legend Supernatural, a multichrome flakie that shifts from purple to bronze.

I then carefully sponged a layer of Dance Legend Hell Money over the tips to make a gradient. Hell Money is a green to purple to bronze multichrome (which you can see very nicely in the bottle pic above) so in my head I thought it should totally match up!

The gradient is much more gradual in real life as the different flakies blend quite well. Metallic flakies like these are really good for sponging on as you can make it as dense or sparse as you like.

These photos don't capture it that well but Hell Money is a bright emerald green, rather than the slight blue tinge in these photos (I was next to an open window on a very sunny day).

You can see though that in the angled photo, it does turn purple! That was my rationale for putting these two shades together....

I'm quite happy with how this turned out and would like to experiment with more gradients in future! Maybe in combination with stamping! Do allll the things!
