Good morning, readers! On Thursday, I showed you my version of Watercolor Gradient Nails. I loved that mani so much and didn't want to take it off for the entire weekend! However, I did have tip wear and a couple of minor chips by Saturday (I just can't keep polish on my nails for more than a couple of days without it chipping or peeling off, ever.) so I tried to figure out a way to continue wearing the mani throughout the weekend.

First things first, I had to touch up the wear on the tips. Thankfully, this technique of watercolor gradient nail art leaves a solid color on the tips so I was able to grab my Milani Mint Crush and do just that. Once it was dry, I took Sinful Colors Black On Black and a stamped this fun design from Bundle Monster BM-402. I think it drew from the southwestern feel of the watercolor and now it reminds me of a tapestry. I sealed it all in with HKGirl Top Coat.

You can't even tell I touched up the tips once I stamped over it, and I love the new look it gave to the gradient. I'm so glad I was able to wear this through the weekend! What do you think? What are your tips for getting the most time out of your manis? Thanks so much for reading!
