Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've not been on SG for a long while. I can find no tutorial on Baby Boomers using CND Shellac- I have attempted it but can't get a good result - anyone help?
Kind regards

Try looking up tutorials for just doing gradients in shellac in general.. Since you can achieve that kind of effect with any colour, just the baby boomers would be pink/white x

Ive managed a great look using Studio White and additive Nectar Glaze, its quite pink for me personally but has worked well.

Go to this thread and a comment by BitsyProspects they explain how to do it using shellac. The original photo on that thread is by them apparently.

Chalkboard nails blog has a detailed tutorial on this graduated French look.
She used opi alpine snow, but the technique could be easier with shellac as you can freeze it faster than polish, so the sponging won't smudge .
Good luck let us know how they turn out
