Neon scaled reciprocal pattern gradient nails... too many words

Welcome to this week's edition of the weekly nail art challenge (WNAC), which I co-host on Instagram along with lovely ladies Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey! The theme is gradient and the prompt is scaled! That means scaled gradient! Some of you (or none of you) may recall back in the day when I did this on my nails and called it a scaled gradient. Watch my very first scaled gradient tutorial here... you probably won't even think it was me.

There's tons of different possibilities, this is one of them! But in all honesty, it didn't turn out as it looked in my head. But that doesn't mean I wasn't going to share it with you😆

Technically one might call this a scaled reciprocal chevron patterned gradient and... it's just as confusing to do as it looks.
