Here's a recent gradient mani. I experimented with doing the gradient from dark in the middle out to two lighter tones - one bright and one murky. I'm not sure that visually it's quite as effective as a one-direction gradient along the length of the nail, as there just isn't very much room for five colours, especially when they're effectively being used to create two gradients! But it was interesting to see the impact of the second aspect of the experiment - mixing shimmers with creams. It seems to work fairly well, and it would be neat to try with a single gradient.

The gradient from cuticle is Cult Nails Grunge, Zoya Cassedy, Hunter, and Rikki, and then an unlabeled Kozmic Colours with 40 stamped in the glass. The middle nail is Zoya Noot, and Cult Nails In A Trance is on the ring finger nail.
Incidentally, Grunge, Noot, and In A Trance make a fantastic camo colour combination too! (pre clean-up)
