Neutral Ombre Nails

I've seen this on so many people recently and really wanted to try it for myself. I thought I'd start small and go neutral and unfortunately I only really had two colours to work with so this is what I ended up with. I used Deborah Lipmann -Waking Up In Vegas and 2True - Shade 9.

I will definitely try this again with some other shades very soon. The trouble is I have lots of blue's, lots of purples etc etc but they're not all the same kind of blue or purple so it just doesn't look quite right. I've seen some adventurous bloggers mix their own shades so I may have to try my hand at that.. get it? MY HAND... !!??
