Glitter gradient

I first found out about a glitter gradient manicure via a video on utube from sayanythingbr00ke in which she demonstrated how do achieve a gorgeous glittery look. I wanted to try this look myself, in Brooke's version she applied a snowflake on a couple of her nails with Konad, but I chose to just keep the glitter gradient on all my nails.


For this manicure you will need a base colour and three different types of glitter polishes, each polish varying in the density of glitter (makes it easier to show a gradient quality)


First step I painted my nails with two coats of Coconut Kiss by China Glaze, I love this deep purple colour but I feel any dark colour would look fabulous. Next I painted one coat of my least packed glitter, I used Fairy Dust by China Glaze and waited for that to dry. Next up I painted one coat of my medium glitter which is Models Own Juicy Jules from about 3/4 of the way down the nail. Next up is one coat of the my thickest glitter which is Sinful Opal Glitter which I painted on the last 1/4 of the nail to the tip. 


The idea is that your finest packed glitter is near your cuticles, the medium in the middle and the thickest glitter at the tip. The variation is what gives off that gradient. Here is what my efforts look like.....


I have taken a few of the pictures slightly out of focus so you can see the glittery goodness!

These are the polishes I used to create this look
