This is my very first attempt at glitter gradation nails. It turned out to be much easier than I had originally thought, my unsteady hands actually pulled through. I used 3 layers of a purple polish and 3 layers of glitter polish. The key is waiting for the first glitter layer to dry before putting on more to prevent the glitter from the first layer from moving around. The drying process did take very long without a nail dryer. 
I did the nails mostly because I wanted to try out these mini Sally Girl nail lacquers from Sally's Beauty Supply. The polishes are .18oz for $1 which is very affordable. The size is small but I think its great for personal use! Honestly, I'll never be able to use up a regular sized bottle on my own. The quality is good for the price and there's a wide range of colors for you to choose from. I got the top coat and So Disco, the holographic glitter polish used for my gradation nails.
The purple polish is from Japan, a gift from the lovely Kay of Bihada Diaries, I don't know which brand it is as the font on the bottom is about the size of a grain of salt but if you can identify the brand the shade is #51.

This is so cute!! I love it! :D
ReplyDeleteI've only done this once with glitter polish (a few times with loose glitter) but it failed rather miserably since I put like... 4 layers of glitter over 3-4 layers of np LOL. Not surprising. I really want to find a quick-drying glitter so I can do this more often though! So far most of my glitters are either Sinful or pa and I wouldn't consider either of them quick drying. =/
cute colors
