Quite Polished

With all the gradients going around I figured I’d add my own to the mix. They were inspired by this fun drip dye t shirt tutorial. First I did a sponge gradient using China Glaze Go Go Pink and OPI Big Hair…Big Nails over Wet n Wild French White Creme. Then I stippled over that with China Glaze High Hopes. Unfortunately the gradient underneath doesn’t come out too much in the picture, but I still really like they way turned out!

Everything is better matte :)

Layering fun with OPI Rainbow Connection! I’ve wanted to do a jelly sandwich with this, but sadly I think I own a total of one jelly, which is almost dead. This is two coats of Love and Beauty Turquoise, one coat of Rainbow Connection, and one coat of Love and Beauty Creme. Creme is extremely sheer, and I love the effect if gives when layered over glitter or other designs. 

Words cannot describe how in love I am with this. Shine of the times is worth every penny.

I need to get another bottle of this, it was my first ever non drugstore polish and it’s almost empty :(

More Christmas nails! I still can’t figure out how to take a good picture of glitter so this will have to do, even though it doesn’t accurately show just how glittery these were.
