Ermahgerd rainbow gradient recreation

The lovely Kristin of @ermahgerdperlish on Instagram is hosting a giveaway and for recreating one of her mani's I get an extra entry, yay! Obviously I was drawn to this one because it's rainbow and super obnoxious. My favourite!

Here's Kristin's original mani, which was done using a stamping plate for the black random pattern. I don't have that plate so I freehanded the black lines and it evidently ended up looking a little different. The rainbow colours are also a little off since she used an awesome polish line that I don't have that are up for grabs in her giveaway (hence why I am entering, hehe), and I used mostly China Glaze polishes.

The brush I used to paint the black lines with acrylic paint: Pure Color 10 detail brush from Stylish Nail Art shop on Etsy.
