Hello there lovely readers!
Yesterday saw me visiting London town again with my buddy
Saf, where we attended the London Blogger Meet organized by the lovely Emma who
is jetting off to Oz at the end of the year the lucky thing! It was held at The
Warwick Pub & really was so much fun; I don’t think I’ve laughed so much in
yonks! An afternoon spent doing some of my favorite things, eating, chatting,
& hanging out with bloggers…AWESOME GOOD TIMES. Met so many lovely ladies
too whom I really hope to see again very soon in the near future :D
On to today’s post, so I seem to be a tad obsessed with
glitter gradients at the mo. I just bloomin loves them I tells ya! Here’s one I
did recently, the results of which, if I do say so myself, I was pretty chuffed
with :) It got some lovely compliments which always make me happy & not
just that, but I actually tweeted a pic of this mani for Grazia magazines #manicuremonday
on Twitter…& they ended up putting it up on their website alongside some
other fab entries! Woo! :D This time I went for pretty bronze glitter over a
nude base…
What do ya think? The base is two coats of Barry M Nude,
which I bought after seeing it on Alexis’s blog & like she says, it really
IS the perfect nude shade. A sort of, your nails but better polish. It also has
the loveliest glossy finish, just LUSH.
For the glitter gradient, I used this stunning bronze
glitter which I picked up from that favourite nail polish hunting ground of
mine…Poundland! Yup, just one pound for this mighty pretty polish which is jam
packed with the sparkliest bronze glitters. I’ve wanted a bronze glitter for
ages & this was just the perfect little jackpot.
To create the gradient I applied a first coat ¾ down the
nail, once that had dried I went in again with another coat, this time only ½ way
down & then finally apply a 3rd coat just along the tips. Finish with a top
of speed dry top coat & finito!
I do recommend using a speed dry topcoat as it does take
quite a while to dry due to all the layers. But definitely worth it!
Thanks as always for reading lovelies! Hope you liked! Are you a fan of
gradients?
This is so pretty! Love the colours.
