Gradient, Take Two

I decided to re-do the gradient I did before, using slightly different colors, and some rhinestone accents.

My reaction? A big "meh"....the base color was actually two colors layered together, with the same polish used on the tips as before. This gave it a gold color overall, instead of a sheer sparkly white/pink combo. Unfortunately, I think the crystals should have been a different color, because they didn't really pop. The flowers on the thumb are cute, though.

Maybe I would like these more if the base coat I recieved in the mail hadn't come open and soaked everything with that God-awful stench that polish seems to have sometimes. My head hurts. :-/
